Stephen Appiah is not only ruing Tuesday nights champions league loss to AC Milan but is also battling to get fit for up coming games after picking up an injury.

The Black Stars captain was substituted in the course of the game after straining his thigh.

Appiah failed to return to the field Tuesday night in the 3-1 loss to last season’s champions league losing finalists, AC Milan.

The player underwent a scan and started treatment yesterday.

Fenerbahce team doctors are battling to get Appiah fit for this weekend’s derby clash with Besiktas.
