Asante Kotoko talismanic midfielder Justice Nkuku Blay has undergone a successful surgery on his injured leg and, will be out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

The player went under the knife on Wednesday and, according to the club’s medical team, this was successful and, they expect the player to make a quick recovery.<\/p>\n

Blay was injured in Asante Kotoko’s Ghana Premier League, GPL game with Karela United in Kumasi, and, missed their 1-0 victory over arch rivals Accra Hearts of Oak also in Kumasi.<\/p>\n

The player has been a huge influence in the Asante Kotoko setup since he rejoined the Porcupines from Medeama SC just before the start of the second round of this season.<\/p>\n

His absence however is not expected to have a telling effect on the Porcupines in their quest to wrestle the GPL title this season.<\/p>\n

Kotoko leads the standing by eight points with nine matches to end the campaign, and, they are the bookmakers favourites to win the diadem.<\/p>\n

They will play Legon Cities on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi as they look to preserve their lead on the table.<\/p>\n

Justice Blay will hope his colleagues will rise to the occasion and amass the needed points to wrestle the title to present him a get well soon offer.<\/p>\n
