The Ghana international defender started Hoffenheim’s Bundesliga opener against Bayern Munich after joining from Young Boys this summer but picked the injury in his second outing.

Kassim was initially expected to be out for a period of not less than six months but the Ghanaian has received some good news.

“I had an ankle injury against Freiburg but I’m recovering more.” he told Angel FM on Wednesday.

” I was supposed to be out for six weeks. But now I will be back after one month due to the great recovery process. I’ve started running and doing gym works but i don’t train with the ball yet” He added.
