The former Asante Kotoko defender sustained a fractured jaw when he collided with compatriot Jonathan Mensah and was taken off the field 27th minute into the game.
Affu has been ruled out for four to six weeks due to the injury.
He is still on the road to recovery from his injury and head coach of the Ghana team Kwesi Appiah has excluded him from his list as he hopes to count on fit players for the competition.
He was part of the Ghana squads for 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2015 AFCONs.
