Kofi Kyereh: Black Stars And Freiburg Player Begins Training After Year-Long ACL Injury

• Kofi Kyereh has been off the pitch for over a year after a devastating ACL injury
• The Black Stars player missed the AFCON and a significant part of this season with Freiburg
• A new video of the player practising with the ball has excited many Ghanaian fans rooting for his return

Ghana's disappointing exit from the AFCON stemmed from various issues, including the absence of key players like Daniel Kofi Kyereh.

Kyereh's absence created a gap in the Black Stars' midfield and dealt his Bundesliga side Freiburg a tough blow.

The midfielder has returned to training after missing an entire season and several crucial games for club and country.
