Ghana youth winger Ishmael Yartey is yet to make his debut in the Swiss League to due difficulties in securing a work permit.

Yartey, 21, agreed a one year loan move to promoted Servette, which is coached by former Benfica coach Joao Alves.

The left-winger has been a great hit in pre-season games for the 17-time Swiss champions.

The club are however struggling to secure work permit for Yartey and he has already missed the first two games of the season.

Yartey remains optimistic that all paper works will be sorted by mid-week ahead of a big clash this weekend.

"It was supposed to have been done last two weeks but there some little problems and they wouldn't finalise it early enough for me to play. They have promised everything will be okay by Tuesday," he told GHANAsoccernet.com

"We have a very big against Young Boys this weekend and I must play part of the game. Expectations are high from the fans and I must live up to those expectations."

Yartey joined the club from Portuguese side Benfica.
