KP Boateng: Ghana star substituted before half-time as Hertha Berlin fall to Wolfsburg

The 34-year-old was replaced early on Saturday as The Old Lady suffered a second straight defeat in Bundesliga

Kevin-Prince Boateng’s injury problems reared their ugly head once more as Hertha Berlin succumbed to a 2-1 home defeat to Lukas Nmecha's Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga on Saturday.

In the matchday two fixture at Olympiastadion, the Ghana international was withdrawn from the game two minutes to half time for a suspected injury as his side lost all three points.

Dodi Lukebakio scored first to put Hertha in the lead, but replies from Congolese descent Ridle Baku and Nigeria prospect Nmecha ensured victory for Wolfsburg.
