Ghana defender Kassim Nuhu was rushed to the hospital after picking up an injury in the Bundesliga game between TSG Hoffenheim and Freiburg on Saturday.

The defender was immediately sent to the hospital where he is undergoing x-rays to determine the extent of the injury. The Ghana international could miss the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Kenya next week.
