Football: Abdul Fatawu To Miss Remainder Of Season With ACL Injury
Fatawu sustained a significant injury during Ghana's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on Friday. The 20-year-old, who had played in all 11 of Leicester City's league games this season, suffered an ACL injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season. "It's a serious injury. For a young player to experience an injury as severe as an ACL is a real blow, both for him and for us," Cooper said ahead of Saturday's home match against Chelsea.
Fatawu's loan from Sporting was made permanent after an impressive campaign last season, where he scored six goals in 40 games to help Leicester secure promotion from the Championship. However, he now joins a growing list of players in European football sidelined by ACL injuries, including Manchester City's Rodri, Real Madrid's Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, Galatasaray's Mauro Icardi, and Juventus' Gleison Bremer and Juan Cabal. "While ACL injuries are unfortunately common in football, they remain serious. For it to happen to someone so young is particularly tough," Cooper added.
