Ghanaian winger, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, spoke about his frustration at being sent off during Leicester City’s recent 3-1 loss to Coventry City in the Sky Bet Championship.
As a result of his dismissal, the 19-year-old received a three-match suspension.
Upon returning to the field, Issahaku made an impact by providing an assist in Leicester’s 5-0 victory over Stoke City.
Determined to maintain his impressive form during his loan spell from Sporting Lisbon, the talented attacker is focused on making a significant contribution to his team’s success.
Reflecting on his red card, Issahaku said, “It was so painful for me. This was the game I wanted to win, but unfortunately, I got a red card. It was so bad. I felt so disappointed.”
Nevertheless, he remains determined to come back stronger and is committed to achieving the team’s objectives.
“I’ll be so much stronger and more effective now I’m back because I have to achieve what we have fought for now. We want to end this season on top of the table,” he affirmed.
Although he has accumulated eight assists and two goals in 24 league appearances during his debut season with Leicester, Issahaku chose not to be considered for selection to the Black Stars squad for the 2023 AFCON campaign.
