Black Stars defender ruled out for the rest of the season

Yiadom sustained a shoulder injury while playing for Barnsley and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. He went under the knife of Saturday and won't be back to the field for the rest of the season.

"With Andy we had the slot booked for him on Saturday," Head coach of Banley Heckingbottom told the club's official website.

“We spoke after the last home game, he’d spoken to all the surgeons and specialists and it was looking like we’d have it done and we’ve got another season next season.

"That will be even harder and I’m keen to make sure Yids [Yiadom] is back fit for pre-season.

"Yids wanted to keep playing if he could but there’s still too much of a risk of it popping out.

"[He] wouldn’t have been able to play until the last two games of the season and it’s a sensible decision to take it."
