The second year San Diego State University player injured his thumb in the offseason and recently had surgery to repair the torn ligament.
The procedure will keep him out of team practice for much of the preseason and the early part of the upcoming College season in the United States.

Another Ghanaian stud Joel Mensah, is on the roster.
