Leicester City boss Steve Cooper has described Abdul Fatawu’s devastating ACL injury as “a real blow, first and foremost for him,” as the club comes to terms with losing one of their brightest young talents for the foreseeable future.

The 19-year-old Ghanaian winger sustained the injury during the international break, dashing hopes of his continued rise in the Foxes’ campaign. Fatawu had been instrumental in Leicester’s impressive run this season, earning plaudits for his dynamic performances on the wing.

“It’s a tough one,” Cooper said. “He’s been fantastic for us, and it’s devastating for him personally. But we’re all behind him, and he’s got the resilience to come back stronger.”

Fatawu now faces months of recovery and rehabilitation, with his absence leaving a significant gap in Leicester’s squad. Fans and teammates alike have rallied behind the young star, flooding social media with messages of support.
