Asante Kotoko midfielder, Maxwell Baakoh has been ruled out for six months after sustaining a shin injury.
The diminutive winger's season seems all but over after aggravating his injury during the team's final
training session last Friday.
During the post-match presser after the Nkana victory, questions were posed to coach Akonnor about
the reason behind the exclusion of the tricky attacker.
But according to Akonnor, Baakoh has been carrying a shin injury for sometime now but aggravated it
during their final preparation to face Nkana FC on Friday.
“Maxwell Baakoh is injured and he will be out for sometime. He has been playing with the injury for
sometime now. But he aggravated it during our final session.â€
“He will be out for about 12 weeks to 6 months. Depending on whether he will undergo a surgery.l or not.
We will have to wait and see.â€
Baakoh has been a key cog for the Reds since joining late last year from Karela FC and his injury will
serve as a big blow for the team.
He has netted two goals so far in the campaign for the Reds.
