Harrison Afful�s return to the Ghana team has suffered a setback after injury ruled him out of this month friendly against Chile, GHANAsoccernet.com can confirm.
The 24-year-old Esperance ace picked up a knee problem on his right leg during a pre-season friendly against second-tier side from Switzerland.
He has already spent one week in the treatment room and needs two weeks to regain his full fitness.
Afful was conspicuously left out of Ghana�s 2012 Africa Cup despite scoring the only goal which won last year�s Caf Champions League for his Tunisian outfit.
Coach Goran Stevanovic-if still in-charge of the Black Stars-will assess the former Asante Kotoko defender for the first time as the Serbian continues his search for a permanent left-back.
�I�m not so worried because opportunities will definitely come my way if I�m playing well,� Afful told GHANAsoccernet.com
Afful has not played for the Black Stars in a friendly against South Africa back in August 2010.
