Fatawu Issahaku Delighted to Return Pain-Free and Scoring for Leicester City
Ghana international Fatawu Issahaku has expressed his delight after making a successful return from injury, marking his comeback with a brilliant solo goal in Leicester City’s pre-season win over Fiorentina at the King Power Stadium.
The match was Issahaku’s first appearance in front of the Foxes’ home fans since undergoing ACL surgery, and the winger made an immediate impact by finding the back of the net in style.
“Right now I’m feeling good. I’ve got more minutes and I still feel good and no pain in my knee,” Issahaku said after the game. “The goal was something I was waiting for because I’ve been out for so long, and I’m so happy that I came back to King Power with a goal. My comeback is personal because I’ve been through a lot.”
