The informational also stipulated that the situation is not serious and that the right back is expected back within some weeks.

Opare played for Ghana at the 2014 World Cup where he sustained a leg injury during one of the Black Stars’ training sessions.

The ex-Real Madrid youth star will again be missing when Ghana opens its qualifying campaign for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco on September 5th against Uganda.

The Black Stars will then make the short trip to face neighbouring Togo in the next qualifying match.

Opare’s place in the latest Ghana squad has since been taken by TP Mazembe defender, Yaw Frimpong.
