The Ghana defender has been ruled out for the rest of the season, after battling with an injury he sustained in July, 2016.

The New York Red Bulls have placed defender Gideon Baah on the season-ending injury list, the team confirmed on Wednesday.

Baah broke his leg in July, ending his 2016 season, and the Red Bulls said they would not rush him back in 2017.

"After evaluating Gideon's progress, we have made the decision that we think is best," Red Bulls sporting director Denis Hamlett said in a statement.

"This lets him focus on rehab with our medical staff. Our primary goal is making sure he has the time and resources to return to 100 percent health."

Gideo Baah, a Ghanaian defender can't feature for his side for the rest of the season after failing to recover from a fractured Tibia injury sustained in July.

The Red Bulls can sign a player to replace him on their squad and use his international roster slot.

"There's potential that we have to add someone; we've been evaluating that one for a while," Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch told MSG.

"That's probably the one more piece that we need to supplement that position. So we'll see. Right now, Hamlett and our scouts are evaluating what might be next in that spot. Yeah, a lot of work is being put into that."
