Jean-Philippe Gbamin is set to undergo surgery next week after suffering a serious Achilles injury in training.

It is expected the midfielder, 24, will then require an extensive period of rehabilitation.

The injury, sustained in a non-contact situation at USM Finch Farm, is unrelated to the quadriceps problem Gbamin had been working his way back from since August last year.

Everyone at the Club is devastated for JP and we will ensure he gets all the support he needs throughout this challenging time.
