Tariq Lamptey, the Black Stars’ defender, has responded to his comeback from injury.
The 22-year-old Tariq Lamptey suffered an injury against Newcastle United in the Premier League Summer Series in the United States on Friday. Brighton finished their season with a 2-1 loss against the Magpies.
The right-back made his first appearance since March in this game. Lamptey has been out with an injury since suffering it against West Ham United.
The injury kept Lamptey out of Ghana’s game against Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in June.
After making a return to the field, Lamptey took to social media, the elated defender expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank God always! Enjoyed being back out there, now time to push on.”
Lamptey’s return is a huge boost for Brighton and Hove, especially with their impending demanding season after qualifying for Europe.
He has been linked with a move to Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, but it appears Lamptey will be part of Robert De Zerbi’s core team.
Lamptey’s comeback is also excellent news for the Black Stars ahead of their September AFCON qualifier against the Central African Republic.
