Sierra Leone forward Alhassan Kamara, 25, says his fiancée is playing a key role in his recovery from knee surgery in Greece.

His Greek top flight league club Panetolikos say he will be out of action for up to five months.

He was injured during last Saturday's 2-1 win at Aris in the league.

"It's not easy as I'm facing mental, physical and psychological battles but I'm trying to deal with the situation positively," he told BBC Sport.

"My fiancée is playing a key role in my recovery process by helping me out to overcome these battles.

"My club too is helping me physically and psychologically by assigning a physiotherapist to me and talking to me as well.

"My teammates too are supportive. I appreciate them all.

"This is a difficult period for me because the injury came at a time when I'm doing well with my club."
