Leicester City Star on the Path to Recovery After Angola Setback

Ghanaian international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku is on the road to recovery after undergoing successful surgery to treat an injury sustained during Ghana’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Angola.

The Leicester City winger was forced off the pitch in the first half of the intense match last Thursday, leaving fans concerned about his condition. His absence was felt in Ghana’s final Group F game against Niger, as he returned to England for medical evaluation and subsequent surgery.

In the aftermath of the Angola match, the Ghana Football Association provided an update on the situation, revealing that Issahaku and teammate Jordan Ayew both sustained injuries. While Ayew managed to complete the game, MRI scans revealed significant issues with his knee. Issahaku’s injury, however, necessitated an early substitution.

On Instagram, the 19-year-old winger reassured his supporters, confirming the success of his surgery and expressing gratitude for their unwavering support.

“All glory be to Almighty Allah. My surgery was successful, and I just want to tell you that I am okay. I want to thank everyone for your best wishes,” Issahaku shared.

Fans across the globe have rallied behind him, sending messages of encouragement as he begins his recovery journey. The talented winger’s swift return to action will undoubtedly boost Ghana’s ambitions in the AFCON tournament and Leicester City’s campaign in club competitions.
