Black Stars coach Otto Addo recently visited Leicester City duo Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Jordan Ayew in the East Midlands, reflecting his commitment to player welfare and readiness ahead of upcoming national team engagements.
Fatawu Issahaku is currently sidelined with a severe knee injury that has prematurely ended his season. The 19-year-old winger is undergoing rehabilitation and will also miss Ghana's crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar in March 2025.
In contrast, Jordan Ayew has made a full recovery from an injury sustained during Ghana’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on November 16, 2024. The experienced forward has rejoined Leicester City’s training sessions and is gradually regaining match fitness.
Coach Addo's visit emphasized the importance of maintaining a close relationship with national team players, both active and recovering.
