Soichiro Kozuki to undergo an ankle operation

The 22-year-old suffered an injury in training around three weeks ago. “We initially hoped that he would be able to return quickly, but he was still in pain despite returning to full training,” said Gerald Asamoah, first-team manager. “We carried out more scans and both parties decided that an operation was needed. It’s the best long-term option for the player and us.”
