Big Blow for Prosper Narteh as important Asante Kotoko star ruled out of the season

Asante Kotoko have been dealt with another injury blow as Justice Blay is reportedly out of the season.

The player sustained a niggling injury during Asante Kotoko’s slim win over city rivals King Faisal where he was deployed as a centre-back in the absence of Ganiyu and Appau.

The 29-year-old recovered and was in line to start against Hearts of Oak last Sunday but suffered a setback in a warm-up session at the Baba Yara Stadium.

According to multiple reports, Blay will undergo surgery at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi. The reports further stated that he has been advised not to part part in the rest of the matches.

Blay has featured in seven games for the Porcupines since his return to the club from Medeama in the second round of the season.

Francis Andy Kumi and teenage goalkeeper Abdul Rafiu Yakubu are already in the treatment room for Asante Kotoko together with Abdul Ganiyu, Richmond Lamptey and Andrews Appau.

Last week, Isaac Oppong was also ruled out of the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his knee.

The Porcupines who are leading the league log are left with 10 games to end the season.
