Medeama SC, the Ghanaian entrant in the CAF Champions League, confronted a setback as defender Nurudeen Abdulai sustained an injury during their 1-1 draw against Yanga at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Despite their battle ending in a deadlock against the Tanzanian giants on matchday three of the CAF Champions League group stage, Medeama was struck by a more profound setback due to Abdulai’s injury.
Abdulai suffered a severe injury just before the conclusion of the first half, leading to his substitution by Kofi Asmah.
Further medical examinations are set to determine the extent of Abdulai’s injury, which regrettably casts doubt over his availability for the upcoming away fixture against Yanga in Dar es Salaam next week.
The absence of the key center-back is poised to present a formidable challenge for the Mauve and Yellow squad in their ongoing CAF Champions League campaign. Abdulai’s injury places a significant defensive burden on Medeama SC, requiring adaptability and resilience as they navigate through the tournament’s challenges without a crucial member of their defensive line.
