The Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) has sent a goodwill message to UD Levante striker Raphael Dwamena following his successful heart surgery.

Dwamena, who was ruled out of action indefinitely after being diagnosed with a heart condition last year, underwent a successful surgery on Thursday.

According to Levante, the 24-year-old's surgery went successfully and is expected to be out of action for at least a month.

Below is the statement from the PFAG

Dwamena joined Real Zaragoza on loan until the end of the season from UD Levante during the summer, but his contract with the Segunda Division side was rescinded due to his heart problem.

The former Red Bull Salzburg striker has a €800,000 annual contract with UD Levante which will expire in 2022.

He had his move to English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion in 2017 halted after the club reported the player has a heart problem.
