Scottish club Hibernian have been dealt a blow after Ghana boss James Kwesi Appiah revealed Thomas Agyepong will be missing for at least three weeks and looks set to be out for their vital games against Celtic and Hearts.

The on loan Manchester City winger went from the high of scoring his first goal for Hibs at Dens Park against Dundee to the low of missing a vital penalty in the Betfred Cup quarter final shoot-out loss to Aberdeen.

He was supposed to play for Ghana in their African Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Sierra Leone this week.

But Agyepong has stayed in Edinburgh after picking up an ankle injury, according to the African nation's boss Appiah.

Neil Lennon’s side have to travel to Parkhead and Tynecastle before the end of the month and it seems certain he won't be able to call on Agyepong's services.
