Hearts midfielder Kenneth Okoro is still weeks away from returning to the pitch to play for the club in the second half of the season.

The development represent a worsening of the initial prognosis, which had originally projected the youngster to recover from his ankle injury two weeks after aggravating it last December.

GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal that the ex-Nania FC player is still weeks away from returning to the pitch and will miss Wednesday’s Premier League game against All Stars.

He featured only two games for the capital-based side after sustaining the ankle problem.

Okoro was spotted by former Ghana captain Stephen Appiah after he watched him play in a non-league game.
