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 the injury early in the match, forcing his substitution in the first half. Consequently, Issahaku missed Ghana’s final Group F game against Niger and traveled back to England for further evaluation and treatment.
In a statement released after the Angola game, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed the extent of injuries sustained by Issahaku and his 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,” the statement read.
Issahaku later took to Instagram to share an update with his supporters, expressing gratitude and optimism about 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 wrote.
Fans and well-wishers have rallied around the talented winger, expressing hope for his swift recovery. With the successful surgery now behind him, Issahaku can begin his rehabilitation and focus on returning to the pitch stronger than ever.
