Joetex Asamoah Frimpong, a former Ghanaian international, has described a horrific injury that almost lost him his life during a World Cup qualifier.

From 2005 until 2009, the 41-year-old played for the Black Stars, earning 11 caps and scoring two goals for his nation.

At the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, Frimpong was a member of the Ghanaian team that played Uganda in a 2006 World Cup qualifier.

However, the forward was unable to finish the match and was taken out after a rough collision with the opposing goalie.

When describing the occurrence, Frimpong said he seriously injured a rib and may have passed away if not taken to the hospital right away.

“Because of the World Cup, I almost died in Kumasi. Against Uganda, we won 2-0. After Essien’s goal, I got a pass. It was a 1v1 with the goalkeeper, I run and the goalkeeper jumped and injured my rib,” he told ETV, as quoted by Ghanaweb.
“I was rushed from the pitch. It was not like after that injury I stopped playing but I continued playing the next game against South Africa, Cape Verde and all. Till now, the bone is swollen.”

Frimpong went on to express his regret at not being selected for Ghana’s World Cup team that year in Germany.

“After everything I did, because of the World Cup… I was disappointed and sad I didn’t go to the World Cup. I didn’t believe it. Until now I am still disappointed,” he added.
