Joseh Aidooo devastated after picking up an injury
Celta Vigo defender Joseph Aidoo has been dealt another blow in his injury-plagued campaign, with a fresh setback expected to keep him out of action for at least three weeks.
The 28-year-old, who recently returned to action after a long injury layoff, has suffered another major setback in his recovery process.
The Ghana international has been ruled out for 2-3 weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during Real Valladolid’s 7-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao over the weekend.
The centre-back was substituted after 65 minutes, and the club confirmed on Tuesday that the Ghanaian star would be unavailable for the next three weeks.
Aidoo is reportedly devastated by this latest twist in his injury woes, as he will have to work tirelessly in the treatment room once again to regain full fitness.
He previously suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg while on international duty with Ghana, a devastating injury that occurred around the half-hour mark in a friendly against Mexico on October 14, 2023.
His recovery sidelined him for most of the season, and upon his return, he struggled for game time at Celta Vigo, managing only a one-minute appearance.
In search of regular football, Aidoo made a winter transfer move to Real Valladolid, a club battling for survival in La Liga.
The 28-year-old defender began his European career in 2015 with Swedish club Hammarby before moving to KRC Genk in Belgium two years later.
His return to competitive action marked a significant step in his comeback, but it appears he still has a lot of work to do to maintain full fitness.
