Leicester City Winger Abdul Fatawu Ruled out of Season
The player suffered a “serious” knee injury, and it was made known by the head coach Steve Cooper. The promising 20-year-old Ghanaian international picked up the injury where he was on international duty.
Ghana played against Angola and they played out a draw which means they are out of the 2025 AFCON. The Black Stars of Ghana did not win a single game in the qualifiers.
The manager said: “It’s not good, it’s a serious injury.” “He’s had an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury that is going to rule him out for the rest of the season.
He also said: “It’s a real blow, first and foremost for him, being a young player and having an injury as serious as what an ACL is.” “Albeit, it can be quite common in sport and in particular football, but it’s still a serious injury.
“For it to happen at a young age is a blow for him and a blow for us as well.” Fatawu helped the Foxes to promotion last season and has played 11 times for them in the league during the present campaign.
They will be hosting Chelsea without their skipper James Reece as the player suffered a hamstring injury. The rightback suffered the injury during their training session.
