How Ghanaians reacted to Kudus' early injury in Ajax' Champions League clash with Liverpool

There was heavy disappointment for Ghanaians as they watched poster boy Mohammed Kudus walk off the pitch after just nine minutes in Ajax's Champions League clash with Liverpool on Wednesday.

Fresh from scoring his debut goal for the Dutch giants over the weekend, the 20-year-old went down early in the game, clutching his right leg.

After three minutes of on-pitch treatment, it became apparent that his time in the Group D matchday one fixture had ended as he walked off the pitch, his place taken by Quincy Promes.

Having joined Ajax from Danish side Nordsjaelland on a five-year deal in July, Kudus has not taken much time to announce his presence at Johan Cruyff Arena as he registered three assists and a goal in his first three competitive games for the club, earning the Man of the Match award in two of the games and becoming an instant fans favourite ahead of Champions League debut on Wednesday.
