Kwabena Appiah-Kubi confirmed today he would have to undergo groin surgery and would out for at least 6 weeks.

On his twitter account the young winger confirmed his injury and the prognosis, tweeting "Groin op on Wednesday, no futbol for 6 weeks. #Depression."

The injury will come as a clear disappointment across the Western Sydney Wanderers organization and the supporters. He was one of the stand out performers in the 2-0 pre-season victory over Blacktown Spartans last Wednesday. It would appear that the injury was sustained in training on the 3rd or 4th.

A 6 week injury would keep him out until the 10th of September but will still leave him 4 weeks in the pre-season to re-gain his match fitness.

The club has yet to comment on the injury.

Update - With Kubi having played in the 2-0 victory over Blacktown City, having deleted his tweet and the club withdrawing it's own confirmation, it appears he was misdiagnosed.

Western Sydney Wanderers FC announced Jerrad Tyson, Reece Caira and Jason Trifiro as the latest signings for the club.

Local product Trifiro joins Wanderers FC after spending a number of years looking to earn his spot in the Hyundai A-League.

 

Reece Caira, who spent time with Blacktown City has earned himself a contract after impressing during the pre-season. The 19-year-old has spent the past two seasons at Aston Villa.

 

Former Gold Coast United Goal Keeper Jerrad Tyson has also earned a contract after impressing during his trial with Western Sydney Wanderers FC.
