Midfielder Mohammed Kudus will be assessed thoroughly at Ajax Amsterdam to ascertain the extent of damage after limping off in Ghana's 1-0 win over South Africa on Sunday in Cape Coast.

GHANASoccernet.com understands the 20-year-old suffered a knock in his rib and could no longer continue play.

He retired in the 12th minute in an off-the-ball incident and signaled the bench to replace him.

Before that, he had been lively on the pitch and contributing to the incessant pressure pile on the Bafana Bafana.

His injury which looked like a recurring one will send him back to the treatment after the international break.

''Kudus had a rib problem and so he will need further tests to ascertain the severity of the injury,'' a source close to the player told GHANASoccernet.com.

Kudus was replaced by Germany-based Daniel-Kofi Kyereh.
