So as to treat an injury he sustained during Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifier against Angola last Thursday, Ghanaian international Abdul Fatawu Issahaku underwent successful surgery.
The Leicester City winger was substituted in the first half after sustaining the injury during the pivotal game.
Issahaku had to travel to England for additional evaluation and treatment as a result of being unable to play in Ghana’s last Group F match against Niger.
“Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahakusustained injuries during the Angola match. Although Ayew completed the game, MRI scans in Accra revealed significant issues with his knee. Issahaku was substituted in the first half due to his injury,” a statement from the Ghana FA said after the Angola game.
Issahaku informed his fans on Instagram that his operation went well and thanked them for their support. Glory be to Allah Ta’ala. I just wanted to let you know that my surgery went well and that I’m doing OK. I appreciate all of your well wishes,” he wrote.
Issahaku’s successful surgery is a step in the right direction for his return to the field, and supporters and well-wishers are hoping for a speedy recovery.
