Ghana international midfielder Kwadwo
Asamoah is ruled out of the 2015 Africa Cup
of Nations (Afcon) through a knee injury.
Coach of Italian Serie A club Juventus,
Massimiliano Allegri, announced on Saturday
that the 25-year-old will be sidelined for
three months- meaning new Ghana coach
Avram Grant will have to do without him for
the time-being.
Asamoah will undergo surgery on a cartilage
problem in his left knee in the upcoming
days in Barcelona.
“Asamoah will undergo an operation and will
be out for around three months, but when
surgery’s involved this can always change,”
Allegri announced ahead of the Turin derby
against Torino on Sunday.

He added: “I regret that I cannot use him but
there is still (Patrice) Evra, (Simone) Padoin
and (Federico) Mattiello.”
The Black Stars will be making their 19th
Afcon appearance in Equatorial Guinea
beginning January 17 through to February 8.
The West Africans claimed their fourth and
last continental crown in Libya in 1982 and
were losing-finalists to Egypt in 2010 in
Angola.
