Karabükspor attacker Joseph Akpala has suffered a serious injury which is expected to keep him on the sidelines for up to six months.

And it means the 27 - year - old , who is on loan at Karabükspor from Germans Werder Bremen, will not play a single match again this season and is definitely out of the Brazil 2014 World Cup.

Joseph Akpala suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon last weekend in the 3 - 1 loss to Sivasspor.

Before his injury setback, he had netted 4 goals in 11 Super Lig games.

Werder Bremen had planned to sell the Nigerian in the summer transfer market.
