Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan praises his international teammate Daniel Amartey following the latter’s return to Premier League action on Sunday after a two-year absence.
Out since sustaining an ankle injury against West Ham in October 2018, the defender returned when his Leicester City side stunned Manchester City 5-2 at the Etihad Stadium on matchday three of the 2020-21 season.
It lasted the entire game, and his performance received praise from many experts after the tie.
“Patience, character and a positive attitude is an important aspect of this in our trade called soccer,” Gyan said in a post on social media.
“It’s been two years … welcome brother, keep your head, I thank God for your life and career.”
Well spoken Captain ✊🏿👏🏿👌🏿

On Sunday, Amartey, who previously played right-back and midfield for Leicester, started play on the right of a back-three before moving more to the center in the second half following the induced Jonny Evans substitution. for an injury.
That was four days after the 25-year-old marked his return through injury with a full-time appearance in a 2-0 League Cup loss to Arsenal in midweek.
“Congratulations on your great comeback Dan Amartey,” Ghana coach CK Akonnor posted online.
“I wish you more of today’s performance in the future. Greetings.”

Amartey will hope to make a third straight appearance for Leicester when they host West Ham United on Sunday.
Recent events mark a notable change in the defender’s fortunes who earlier this year was seen as a surplus of requirements at King Power Stadium and confirmed to be leaving the club.
“We are looking for new opportunities for Amartey,” Amartey’s representative in Ghana, Yussif Chibsah, told Starr FM.
“Has lost the favor of the new director [Brendan Rodgers], so we will see what is the best way to solve that problem.
“Amartey is still with The Foxes but hasn’t had any more playing time due to being injured. After his injury, they consider him a surplus, so there should be a way out. “
Amartey joined Leicester from Danish team FC Copenhagen in 2016 and helped the English team win the Premier League that season.
