Midfielder Francis Abu suffered a nasty injury during Ghana’s international friendly against Japan, leaving the match under distressing circumstances.
The Toulouse player twisted his ankle badly in the early in the second half, and the reaction from his teammates showed how serious the situation was. Several players looked visibly shaken as Abu went down, signalling immediately for medical support.
The 24-year-old was unable to continue and had to be stretchered off the pitch, bringing a sudden halt to the game’s rhythm. His injury added to Ghana’s troubles on the night, as the Black Stars were trailing 1-0 at the time.
Early indications suggest that Abu could be out for an extended period, though further assessment will be required to determine the full extent of the damage. His absence would be a major blow for both club and country, especially given his strong form in recent months.
More updates are expected as medical examinations continue.
