When Leicester City supporters last saw Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, the attacking player appeared to be feeling more comfortable and adjusting to the Premier League level of play. An unfortunate ACL injury occurred while he was helping Ghana during the AFCON qualifiers. Since then, there have not been any newly reported setbacks, and the City winger appears ready to help his side back into the EPL again.
An update from Ghana Soccernet disclosed that Issahaku himself feels ready for the upcoming season. The Foxes' forward shared that he feels ready and will be able to participate in the full preseason as planned with this club.
This is a positive development and something that can help to somewhat ease the current tension among the LCFC supporters. After all, between how most of the season went for City and the current handling of the manager situation, there has not been a lot to necessarily feel hopeful about.
Getting someone back in Issahaku who is already proven at this level will give whoever ends up patrolling the sidelines as manager the chance to lean on someone reliable. The Ghana international was starting to make something of a name for himself, especially when considering his age, after how he played in the Championship.
Slightest bright spot for Leicester City
A step up in competition and a significant injury later, and the City winger will have something to prove once again. In the same aforementioned report, however, Issahaku did not seem to have his confidence dampened or anything of the sort. Instead, it appears that the lengthy rehab process has allowed him to refocus and be as determined as ever.
This is a City side that has a ton more questions than answers at the moment. Hearing that Issahaku, someone who has talent and potential, will be able to be a full participant without any worries about the ACL is at least something for supporters to look forward to.
