Ghana's Ernest Nuamah says his injury nightmare is over and he's ready to fire Lyon's season, despite a Ligue 1 setback at Lens.
Ghana's Ernest Nuamah is declaring the dark days over. After a lengthy spell on the sidelines, the Black Stars winger says he is fully back and ready to carry Lyon's ambitions in Europe this season.
The 22-year-old right winger has wasted little time making up for lost ground. Across competitions, he has already banked four goals and an assist in nine appearances, a strong sign that the pace and directness that made him a standout are intact.
His latest outing came in Ligue 1 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, where Lyon went down 2-1 to RC Lens. Nuamah started and worked for 71 minutes, but his effort could not rescue a result for his side.
Afterwards, the former Nordsjælland star made his message clear. The injury was tough to endure, he admitted, but it is behind him now, and he is doing everything he can to help a team that needs him. That, he suggested, is exactly what everyone around the club expects.
For Ghana and for Lyon, that is welcome news. A fit, confident Nuamah brings the kind of fearless running that can change games, and the Ghanaian is now steadily rebuilding his place as a key figure in the Lyon attack.
