 Hearts of Oak have announced that their goalkeeper Richard Attah is 'fine' after getting injured in the Ghana Premier League matchday 20 clash against Aduana Stars.

The former Elmina Sharks goalkeeper was forced off the pitch in the first half in the Phobians 1-0 lost to Aduana Stars on Sunday at Dormaa.

He was feared to have suffered a torn ligament injury, but Hearts of Oak ruled out a severe issue for the 26-year-old.

"Goalkeeper Richard Attah has been treated and discharged from the Presbyterian hospital-Dormaa. X-rays conducted on him proved that there are no torn ligaments in the thigh as earlier feared," Hearts of Oak said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak suffered their fifth loss of the season after their away loss to Aduana FC at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park at Dormaa.

Aduana FC scored seconds before halftime and held on for their first win over Hearts of Oak under Coach Samuel Boadu.

Boadu's side had not lost in their previous two meetings against Aduana FC and came into the clash high on confidence after back-to-back wins against Asante Kotoko and WAFA.

Sam Adams converted that proved the match-winner as he received a through pass in a good position before calmly smashing home the match-winner beating substitute goalkeeper Richmond Ayi with a powerful low effort.

Ayi came on for Richard Attah who was stretched off over what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
