Black Stars striker Emmanuel Boateng has been ruled out of Levante's La Liga clash with Real Valladolid on Sunday.

The 22-year-old picked up the knock during his side’s  3-0 defeat to Barcelona on Thursday which ensured they exited the Spanish Cup 4-2 on aggregate.

Levante manager Paco Lopez confirmed Boateng’s injury;

"The injuries of Postigo and Boateng are muscular, it is difficult for them to arrive on Sunday," Lopez said.

This season, Boateng has made 18 appearances in all competitions.
