Black Stars defender, Tariq Lamptey, has made a remarkable comeback after a lengthy injury spell in Brighton and Hove Albion’s Premier League Summer Series match against Newcastle United.
The 22-year-old right-back had not played since March due to his injury sustained during a game against West Ham.
However, after undergoing an intense recovery and training program, Lamptey finally returned to the field.
Despite Brighton’s 2-1 pre-season defeat to Newcastle United, Lamptey’s return brought optimism to the team.
The elated defender took to social media to express his gratitude, saying, “Thank God always! Enjoyed being back out there, now time to push on.”
His comeback is a significant boost for Brighton and Hove, especially with their busy season ahead following their qualification to Europe.
Despite speculations about a potential move to Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, it seems that Lamptey remains an essential part of Roberto De Zerbi’s plans.
Moreover, his return is good news for the Black Stars as they prepare for the AFCON qualifier against the Central African Republic in September.
In the match, Danny Welbeck scored the first goal for Brighton, but Newcastle came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory.
