Daniel Opare has encountered a significant setback, with the Ghanaian defender facing the possibility of missing the upcoming African Cup of Nations. The player from Standard de Liège in the Belgian Jupiler League sustained a knee injury over the weekend during a match against Mons. The diagnosis, conducted last Monday, indicates a three-month period of unavailability.
This injury is particularly disheartening for Opare, who was in the process of making a comeback after enduring various health issues over the summer, primarily due to multiple injuries. Despite being trained at Real Madrid, the 21-year-old has struggled to secure a consistent place on the field, primarily due to recurring injuries. Since his participation in the U17 World Cup in 2007 in Korea with Ghana, Opare has been eager to establish himself in Belgium.
Having been present at the CAN 2012 in January, Daniel Opare did not see any playing time as the Black Stars finished the tournament in fourth place.
