Nuamah Thanks Lyon Fans After Emotional Comeback
Ghana international Ernest Nuamah has expressed heartfelt appreciation to supporters of Olympique Lyonnais after making a long-awaited return to competitive action.
The 22-year-old winger marked his comeback by featuring off the bench in Lyon’s 4-2 victory over Stade Rennais, ending nearly a year on the sidelines due to injury.
Nuamah’s return was met with a warm reception at full-time, as fans inside the stadium rose to applaud his reappearance. The forward later took time to engage with the club’s ultras, acknowledging their support throughout his rehabilitation.
Taking to social media, he shared his gratitude in a brief but expressive message: “No face, no case. Supporters, supporters….Thank you for the warm welcome. Miss me? Well, I’m back!!!”
Manager Paulo Fonseca is expected to ease Nuamah back into full match fitness, with a gradual increase in playing time as the season progresses.
His return offers a timely boost for Ghana ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with national team coach Carlos Queiroz closely monitoring the winger’s recovery and form.
With several key players racing against time to regain fitness, Nuamah’s resurgence could prove significant as Ghana fine-tunes its squad for the global tournament.
