He was stretchered off the pitch and rushed for emergency medical attention. Toulouse later issued a statement expressing deep concern and revealing that the injury requires a long-term recovery process, ruling him out of next year’s World Cup campaign entirely.
Sports media reports indicate that Ghana’s technical team and the Ghana Football Association have been in constant communication with Toulouse’s medical department as Abu undergoes further assessments. The GFA has confirmed that he is in stable condition but will need months of rehabilitation.
The injury is a huge blow to the Black Stars, who counted on Abu’s growing influence in midfield ahead of the 2026 global tournament. It also affects Toulouse’s squad, as the club loses a player who had been showing strong promise since joining them.
Francis Abu now begins a long recovery journey, with support from both Toulouse FC and the Ghana national team. His World Cup dream has been halted, but fans and officials remain hopeful he will return stronger once fully healed.
