Waris scores in Spartak friendly again but suffers injury

Ghana striker Abdul Majeed Waris was taken off injured in Spartak Moscow’s 3-2 friendly win against Stromsgodset on Thursday.

The 21-year-old scored the match’s opener on 12 minutes and made an assist in the second goal before being replaced in the 17th minute after picking up the injury.


It is unclear at this point the severity of the injury but details are expected to emerge soon.


Waris has just resumed his impressive goal scoring form for the Russian club.

The Right to Dream Academy graduate won last season’s Goal King award with Swedish club BK Hacken before his big money switch last November but made official in January.


The injury, if serious could scupper his return to the Ghana national team for next month’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan.
