Kwadwo Obeng Jnr\u2019s decisive goal secured three points for the visitors, leaving Kotoko in need of a quick recovery to stay competitive in the title race.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Ogum, addressing Amoah\u2019s condition after the game, confirmed that the forward suffered a direct blow to the side of his knee, resulting in swelling and severe pain. \u201cHe took a direct hit to the knee, which is now swollen and very painful. He couldn\u2019t walk and had to be assisted onto the bus,\u201d Ogum explained. \u201cIt looks serious, but I\u2019m confident our medical team is fully capable of getting him back on the field soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amoah has been a pivotal figure for Kotoko this season, netting five goals in just eight league appearances, making his injury a significant setback. His return will be crucial as Kotoko seeks to rebound from recent losses and reclaim momentum in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Following the defeat, Kotoko has dropped to third place in the standings, sitting on 15 points. They now turn their focus to an upcoming fixture against Bechem United, where they hope to regain form and strengthen their campaign in the Ghana Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asante Kotoko head coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has issued an update on forward Albert Amoah\u2019s injury following the Porcupine Warriors\u2019 1-0 defeat to Heart of Lions on Sunday.
