Ghanaian midfielder Majeed Ashimeru has successfully bounced back from his injury setback suffered during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, marking his eagerly awaited return to action for Anderlecht.
After a prolonged spell on the sidelines, Ashimeru showcased his resilience by making a comeback in Anderlecht’s friendly encounter against Zulte Waregem on Thursday.
Demonstrating his prowess on the field, the midfielder delivered a stellar performance, signaling his readiness to resume competitive football following the recent international break.
Ashimeru’s return to fitness is a welcome development for both club and country, particularly after his unfortunate injury forced him to exit the AFCON tournament prematurely. Despite Ghana’s early elimination from the competition, Ashimeru’s resurgence offers renewed hope and optimism for future endeavors.
Having missed several matches for RSC Anderlecht over the past months, Ashimeru’s availability for their upcoming clash against Royal Antwerp on Saturday, March 30, bolsters the team’s midfield options.
While Ashimeru’s comeback comes too late for the March international window, during which Ghana will confront arch-rivals Nigeria in a highly-anticipated friendly fixture in Morocco, his return sets a promising precedent for future national team selections.
