Despite his side’s elimination from the English FA Cup, Leicester City winger Fatawu Issahaku is committed to his national responsibilities with the Ghanaian national team.
The Ghanaian international opened the scoring and played for sixty-three minutes as Leicester City lost 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.
Following their comeback from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game against Chelsea, Leicester City had to endure late drama as the Blues capitalized on a red card to win 4-2 in stoppage time, securing their place in the competition quarterfinals.
Issahaku expressed his disappointment at Leicester City’s elimination from the English FA Cup, but he also made it clear that his current priorities were supporting Ghana in their next tasks.
Issahaku is expected to join the Black Stars under new coach Otto Addo, who is well-known for appreciating the young talent, despite Leicester City’s FA Cup campaign coming to an end.
Later this month, the two highly anticipated international friendlies against archrivals Nigeria and Uganda will mark the start of the four-time African champions’ mission of resurrection.
Issahaku, who signed for Leicester City in the summer, has been an important player, helping the team win 31 Championship games with three goals and ten assists despite losing out on the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Issahaku wants to keep helping Leicester City in the future as they work to go back into the Premier League after being relegated the previous campaign. There are also current talks regarding turning his Sporting CP loan into a permanent deal.
