  • Andy Yiadom plays for Reading as they defeat Coventry

    A right back from Ghana, Andy Yiadom, played for Reading in their 1-0 English Championship victory over Coventry on Saturday.

    The 31-year-old, who did not make Ghana’s final World Cup roster for Qatar in 2022, played the entire game.

    In a cagey first half, both goalkeepers were called into action to maintain the 0-0 scoreline.

    Reading’s Joe Lumley saved well from Callum O’Hare while Coventry’s Ben Wilson kept out a fine Yakou Meite header.

    Coventry went behind 12 minutes into the second period, when Frenchman Amadou Mbengue was on hand to nod in his first Reading goal.

    And City, try as they did, were unable to force a fightback as the hosts held on with relative ease.

    Reading went into the World Cup recess in poor form, with only two wins from 10 games, while Coventry had won seven of their nine matches, including their last four without conceding a goal, to move from bottom of the Championship to 11th place.

    Yiadom has made 20 league appearances for Reading so far this season.

  • Ghana defender Andy Yiadom shines in Reading FC’s defeat to Burnley in English Championship

    Ghana international Andy Yiadom produced an impressive performance despite Reading FC’s defeat to Burnley in the English Championship on Saturday.

    Yiadom, who is the captain of Reading started and lasted the entire duration as his suffered a 2-1 defeat at away to Burnley.

    Despite his sides defeat, the enterprising right-back earned an impressive rating of 9 out of 10 at the end of the game.

    The defender returned to the starting line-up after missing the sides victory over Bristol City dues to suspension.

    The Black Stars defender was colossal in defence for Reading and always in the right place at the right time to stop crosses into the box.

    He made an excellent recovery to stop Anass Zaroury going clear through on goal in the first-half.

    Meanwhile, his compatriot Baba Rahman also played full throttle of the match as his suffered defeat.

    The on-loan Chelsea player made a couple of key tackles on the left side but was booked for a late challenge on Tella in the first-half.

  • Ghana and Reading defender Andy Yiadom faces spell on sidelines

    Reading are set to be without captain Andy Yiadom for some weeks due to injury, having missed their clash with fellow Sky Bet Championship high-flyers Norwich on Tuesday night.

    The Ghana defender was forced off with a calf injury in last Saturday’s win over Huddersfield, leaving manager Paul Ince fearing a spell on the sidelines.

    Yiadom compatriot Abdul Baba Rahman has also been ruled out for a month with a hamstring.


     

    “This is an opportunity for him. We’ll be missing Baba for a month and this is an opportunity for him to cement his place,” Paul Ince said as quoted by the club’s website.

    Yiadom has been consistent performers for Reading this season, making 11 appearances across all competitions.

  • Reading defender Andy Yiadom ruled out till February 2021

    Ghana defender Andy Yiadom will miss the rest of the year due to injury and could be set for a return in February 2021.

    Andy Yiadom suffered a knee injury during the opening day win at Derby County and after making a comeback during the home defeats by Preston North End and Stoke City, he suffered a recurrence of the same injury in the latter game.

    Following the injury, he faces another spell on the sidelines and won’t be back before the end of the year.

    “Andy is [out] longer than both Araruna and Swift because he got injured again in the Stoke game,” said manager Veljko Paunovi.

    “Unfortunately it’s going to take a little bit more time,” he added.

    Yiadom, who was named in Ghana’s initial squad for the double AFCON qualifiers against Sudan last month missed due to the recurring injury.
