By: Nana Kwame Bediako
Ghana international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has successfully undergone surgery to address an injury sustained during Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifier against Angola last Thursday. The Leicester City winger suffered a severe injury during the crucial match, leading to his substitution in the first half.
As a result, Issahaku was unable to participate in Ghana’s final Group F game against Niger and traveled to England for further assessment and treatment. The extent of the injury has been confirmed, with Issahaku facing a lengthy recovery period of 6–9 months after undergoing ACL surgery.
Despite the setback, Issahaku remains positive and has taken to social media to update his fans on his condition. In a post on Instagram, he wrote, “All glory be to Almighty Allah. My surgery was successful, and I just want to tell you that I am okay and I am feeling good after the surgery. I want to thank everyone for your best wishes.”
The recovery period will undoubtedly be challenging for Issahaku, but his determination and resilience will undoubtedly aid in his journey back to full fitness. The Ghanaian international’s absence will be felt on the pitch, but his teammates and fans will be eagerly awaiting his return.
