“I can’t wait to be back on the field” – Abdul Fatawu

Ghana national team winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku has indicated that he cannot wait to return to the pitch for Leicester City after declaring that he will be fit for pre-season.

The former Dreams FC forward missed the just-ended Premier League season with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury which he picked up during Ghana’s game against Angola during a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier in Luanda.

Issahaku, who has had a successful rehabilitation, said: “I have been working so hard. My rehab has been so good with the people, the physio, the management, and the players. Everyone has been so supportive of me. I’ll be ready before pre-season,” he told Leicester City’s media.

“I can’t wait to be back on the field, running again, fighting for the badge as always,” he added.

The 21-year-old former Sporting CP winger began life in the Premier League on a fine note, earning 11 appearances with two assists with no goals before rupturing his ACL.

Abdul Fatawu Issahaku will now compete in the EFL Championship next season following Leicester’s relegation from the Premier League.
