Ghana defender Jerome Opoku has expressed gratitude to fans and the medical team of Istanbul Basaksehir following his injury in the game against Kocaelispor in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday, October 31, 2025.
The lanky centre-back was forced off after 22 minutes after clashing with Kocaelispor's Serdar Dursun, suffering a head injury and left the pitch with a swollen face.
Although, the incident looked scary with fears of an extended time on the sidelines, Opoku posted a message on social media giving a positive feedback.
"Hi guys, Jerome Opoku here. I just want to say thank you for your support and your kind messages. I am just following the doctor's protocols and as you can see the swell has decreased dramatically and I will be back soon. So you guys, stay bless and thank you," he posted on X.
Despite the latest update, it is unclear of the Ghanaian centre-back will be available for Friday's game against Genclerbirligi.
Meanwhile, Eldor Shomurodov's last minute penalty secured a vital win for Basaksehir in the match against Kocaelispor.
Opoku, who played a role in Ghana's World Cup qualification, has been consistent for the Turkish outfit, making 11 league appearances this season.
