Hearts of Oak midfielder Malik Akowuah indicates he is out of the rest of the first round of the Ghana Premier League with an ankle injury.
He sustained the injury against Bechem United a week ago at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Akowuah will need three or more weeks to recover from the injury which will see him miss the next four fixtures in the first round.
"When I picked up the injury in the game against Bechem United, I thought it wasn't serious initially but I realized it's serious later. I was struggling to step on it when walking," he told Fox FM.
"I'm in Plaster of Paris (POP) now and it take two weeks before it will be removed.
"I will start training afterwards so I'm sure I am out of the rest of the first round."
Akowuah will play Elmina Sharks FC, Bolga All Stars, Liberty Professionals and WAFA SC without the workaholic midfielder.
