Ghana U20 playmaker Clifford Aboagye is suspected to have picked up an injury in the 1-0 win over Panama on Friday morning.

The Black Satellites secured the win through substitute Emmanuel Boateng with barely seven minutes of play left.

Ghana thus qualified as winners of Group having garnered seven points from the three group games at the ongoing FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand.

But Sellas Tetteh could be without his influential midfielder Clifford Aboagye who was taken off at halftime for David Atanga.

The 20-year-old has had an immense impact on the Black Satellites after missing the opening group game against Austria.

He scored and provided an assist in the thrilling 3-2 win over Argentina which indeed put Ghana on its way to progress at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup.

Aboagye’s suspected injury will be thoroughly assessed by the team’s medical officers to ascertain the status of his fitness.

A prospective absence of the Granada youngster will have a huge effect on the Ghana U20 team due to his immense contribution to the team.
