Benjamin Asare is a goalkeeper of Hearts of Oak
Hearts of Oak have been dealt a blow with goalkeeper Benjamin Asare ruled out for approximately two weeks due to injury.
Asare has already missed the club’s last three matches and is not expected to feature in Sunday’s Premier League fixture against Nations FC.
His absence has come at a difficult time for the Phobians, who have managed just one victory in their last four games and were also knocked out of the FA Cup at the round of 32 stage by third-tier side True Life FC.
The shot-stopper was away on international duty earlier this month and sat out the match against Swedru All Blacks. However, upon his return, he has been unable to regain his place due to the setback, missing further fixtures against Young Apostles, Vision FC and Karela United.
Solomon Agbasi has stepped in as his replacement and is likely to continue in goal until the number one is fully fit again. Hearts will hope Asare returns within the expected timeframe as they look to stabilise their campaign.
Asare has made eight league appearances this season, keeping five clean sheets, and remains an important figure in the team’s defensive setup.
