Ghana forward Ibrahim Mustapha undergoes successful surgery

Ghanaian forward Ibrahim Mustapha is expected to be sidelined for some weeks after undergoing a successful surgery.

The forward picked up an injury while in action for Austrian club LASK Linz during a Europa League game against Liverpool, where his side suffered a 4-0 defeat.

The 24-year-old Ghanaian came on as substitute but was forced off the pitch 15 minutes later following an injury.

Mustapha Ibrahim was replaced in the game by Senegalese international Moussa Kone due injury setback.

However, the Ghanaian player has undergone a successful surgery last Wednesday and is expected to spend sometime on the sidelines.

The former Red Star Belgrade forward is yet to live up to expectations this season, scoring just a goal and providing an assist in 20 appearances.
