Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, a Ghanaian attacker, gave Leicester City supporters a lot to celebrate on Friday night, but he also caused them concern when he hobbled off late in the Foxes’ 2-0 English Championship victory over Birmingham City.
After just eight minutes, the 21-year-old Black Stars winger, who missed a significant amount of play last season due to injury, opened the goal with a brilliant finish from an assist from Louis Page. He had been Leicester’s best player throughout the match. He was named Player of the Match for his attacking drive, inventiveness, and enthusiasm, demonstrating his value to Steve Cooper’s team.
In the 87th minute, however, Issahaku went down and had to be replaced by Wout Faes, dampening the joy.
The sight of the Ghanaian star walking off in discomfort sparked concern among both Leicester and Ghana supporters, given his recent struggles with injuries.
The timing of the setback is especially concerning for Ghana, who have important international matches coming up, and Leicester, who are depending on Issahaku’s form to lead their promotion push.
After such a dominant performance, supporters will now be eagerly awaiting word from the team regarding the severity of his injury, hoping it is nothing major.
