In order to help Tariq Lamptey, who is unable to play due to a bad injury, Ghanaian coach Otto Addo has traveled to Italy.
Shortly after the most recent international break, the Fiorentina defender sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. He has been sidelined for several months due to the surgery-required setback, which has prevented him from playing for Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying round against Comoros and the Central African Republic.

Lamptey’s injury is a serious setback for the team and the nation. After an injury-plagued period in England, the 25-year-old right-back signed a summer transfer to Fiorentina in the hopes of resurrecting his career.
He will be out for at least six months, though, according to his new club, which could jeopardize his hopes of playing in the World Cup if Ghana qualifies.
Addo’s visit demonstrates his dedication to player well-being off the field and gives Lamptey support as he starts his recuperation. With four points from their final two games, Ghana will advance to the 2026 World Cup.
