He started to make progress towards his comeback after starting light training at the tail end of last season. He was then named in the pre-season squad for the trip to Austria.
However, Freiburg released a statement confirming the versatile playmaker will need surgery to correct the injury.
"Kofi Kyereh has left the TL in Schruns. After the increased strain, problems with the injured knee have recurred. A surgical procedure should provide information on how further treatment and strain control can be continued in a targeted manner," wrote the club on X, confirming his injury.

The former St Pauli midfielder has not featured for an entire season since joining Freiburg due to his niggling knee problem, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.

Despite having troubles with his knee, his first major injury setback was in February of 2023.
He has since not made an appearance for the club and his country Ghana.
