Bernard Tekpetey undergoes successful surgery after injury in Qarabag clash
Ghanaian winger Bernard Tekpetey has undergone successful surgery in Austria after suffering an injury during Ludogorets’ UEFA Champions League qualifier against Qarabag.
The 26-year-old was forced off the field after a collision with Kevin Medina and underwent an operation led by renowned specialist Dr. Paul Stampfl.
Tekpetey will spend a week recovering in Vienna before returning to Razgrad but faces a potential months-long absence.
His injury comes as a significant blow to Ludogorets, who secured a crucial 2-1 win in Baku despite his early exit.
Tekpetey has been instrumental in the team’s European campaign and domestic league dominance, making his absence a significant loss for the Bulgarian giants.
