I am happy to have scored a goal for LA Galaxy – Joseph Paintsil

Ghanaian footballer, Joseph Paintsil, has expressed happiness at returning from injury to play for Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy.

The winger, part of Ghana’s national team, rejoined the squad over the weekend and played exceptionally as they secured a 4-2 victory against Sporting Kansas City.

Paintsil had been sidelined for weeks due to a muscle injury he sustained last month, causing him to miss five games in the American league.

Making a comeback as a substitute, Paintsil scored his fifth goal of the season, playing a crucial role in Galaxy’s exciting win.

“I feel good. It’s always good to come back and score especially at home. I thank the supporters for welcoming me. It’s really an amazing moment” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The 26-year-old took to social media to share his joy about returning from injury, saying, “I feel good. It’s always great to come back and score, especially at home.

Thanks to the fans for the warm welcome. It’s truly an amazing moment.”

Since joining, Paintsil has been impressive, tallying five goals and four assists in 13 appearances.

Due to his injury, Paintsil was unable to participate in Ghana’s 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Mali and the Central African Republic earlier this month.

Despite his absence, Ghana’s national team secured victories over Mali and the Central African Republic, ending their winless streak for the year.
