Ghanaian winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has successfully undergone surgery following an injury sustained during the Black Stars’ Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifier against Angola last Thursday.
The Leicester City player was forced off in the first half of the match after picking up the injury. His absence also ruled him out of Ghana’s final Group F fixture against Niger. Issahaku returned to England for detailed medical evaluations and subsequent treatment.
A statement from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after the Angola match highlighted the injury situation of both Issahaku and teammate Jordan Ayew:
“Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku sustained 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.”
Issahaku shared an update on Instagram after the surgery, reassuring fans of his recovery.
“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,” he posted.
The 19-year-old’s successful procedure has brought relief to his supporters, who are optimistic about his swift return to action. Issahaku’s recovery will be crucial for both club and country as he continues to play a key role in their campaigns.
