Hearts of Oak Midfielder Hussein Mohammed Ruled Out of Bechem United Clash Due to Injury

Accra Hearts of Oak have suffered a setback ahead of their crucial Ghana Premier League clash against Bechem United, as key midfielder Hussein Mohammed has been ruled out due to injury.

The combative midfielder, who has been one of the standout performers for the Phobians this season, picked up the knock during training earlier this week and has not recovered in time to make the matchday squad. The club’s medical team has advised that he sit out the upcoming fixture to avoid aggravating the injury.

Hussein’s absence is a significant blow to head coach Aboubakar Ouattara’s plans, as the 23-year-old has been instrumental in controlling the tempo of the midfield and linking up play between defense and attack. His work rate, passing accuracy, and ability to break up opposition play have been vital to Hearts of Oak’s performances this campaign.

With Hussein unavailable, Ouattara is expected to turn to one of his midfield options, with players like Salim Adams or Enoch Asubonteng likely to be considered as replacements for the crucial encounter against Bechem United.

Hearts of Oak will be hoping to maintain their push up the league table despite the setback, and the team’s supporters will be eager to see how they adapt without one of their most consistent performers in midfield.

Hussein Mohammed is expected to continue his recovery under close supervision, with the club hopeful he will return to action in the coming weeks.
