Ghana football fans have received a welcome boost ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as midfielder Abu Francis reports steady progress in his recovery from a serious injury.
The 24-year-old Toulouse star suffered a double fracture during an international friendly against Japan last November at Toyota Stadium, a match the Black Stars lost 2-0.
In a recent video shared by the Ghana Football Association, Francis expressed gratitude to fans for their support.
“My recovery is going well. I want to sincerely thank everyone for the love and encouragement you have shown the Black Stars this year, especially during my injury in Japan. Your support has given me the strength and courage to keep pushing forward. I hope to be back on the field soon and wish everyone a happy New Year. Please continue to support the Black Stars,” he said.
Francis fractured both his tibia and fibula on November 14, 2025, during the Kirin Cup match, but his recovery may give him a chance to feature in coach Otto Addo’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup across Canada, USA, and Mexico.
