Afful Laid Low For Esperance

Ghana defender Harrison Afful will today know the extent of a knee injury sustained on Sunday for Esperance in a 0-2 win over El Gaouafel de Gafsa in the Tuinsien Cup. The left-back was replaced in the 70th minute by Osama Boughanmi but further tests will know how long he will be out of action. Afful was left out of Milovan Rajevac's 20-man squad for this weekend's 2010 final joint Nations/World Cup qualifier against Mali and a friendly at Angola. He has played all but one of the previous 2010 qualifiers.
