Vorsah mourns brother

Hoffenheim's World Cup star Isaac Vorsah has been given compassionate leave following the death of his younger brother.

The Ghana international defender, 22, was allowed to return to his homeland for an indefinite period.

"This is more than a tragedy," Hoffenheim manager Ralf Ragnick told the Bundesliga club’s website.

Joshua Vorsah, 19, collapsed and died after complaining of stomach cramps at the weekend, according to news reports in Ghana.

Isaac’s club and national team-mate Prince Tagoe has also been allowed to provisionally stay in Africa to help his friend, but will return in the midweek.
