They wrote, "Left-back Lumor Agbenyenu (24), a former RCD Mallorca member who has just signed for Aris Thessaloniki, travels urgently to Ghana. His four-week-old son passed away in the last few hours."
Agbenyenu just joined the Greek club after ending his stay with Portuguese giants Sports Lisbon.
Prior to his move, he had spent time on loan at Goztepe in Turkey and Real Mallorca in Spain.
The 24-year-old began his career in Europe, when he joined Porto in 2014, but struggled to establish himself and had to leave after just a season.
He later joined Portimonense, where he made his name, earning a big money move to Sporting CP.
Agbenyenu also caught the attention of former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah, who invited him to the Black Stars team in 2018. He was then included in the team for AFCON 2019 and played twice as Ghana reach the round of 16.
