Abu Francis Injury: Suffers season ending injury

Francis suffered a fracture of the tibia and fibula in Friday's defeat against Japan and underwent a successful surgery on Saturday, according to the Ghana Football Association.

Francis will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing a successful surgery following a double fracture of his tibia and fibula. He will likely miss the World Cup with Ghana and hopes to be back available for the 2026/27 season with Toulouse. Francis featured in eight games for his first season in Ligue 1, contributing 19 tackles, eight interceptions and 10 clearances with the TeFeCe. Mario Sauer is expected to be a regular starter in the midfield while he is out.
