Ajax put out a statement on twitter saying the 20-year-old missed the Bayern game due to the injury.

Ajax drew with Bayern in a 2-2 standoff at the Allianz Arena in Munich in an entertaining game.

The Ghanaian star is expected to shrug off the injury before the start of the season where Ajax play PSV in Johan Cruyff Shield.
