Europa League: Richmond Boakye to miss CSKA Moscow game

Red Star Belgrade will not risk striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom in tonight's UEFA Europa League round of 32 tie against CSKA Moscow, that’s according to the player’s agent Oliver Arthur.

Boakye has recovered from a calf injury but GHANASoccernet.com understands he will be reserved for the return leg simply as a precautionary measure ahead of the resumption of the Serbian Super League.

He trained throughout the week but being Red Star's best player means he needed to feature fully in the return leg.

There is huge expectation Boakye will continue his fine form from 2017.

He finished the year on 42 goals in 48 games for both club and country.
