Emmanuel Agyemang Badu 'grateful' to well wishers after illness comeback

Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyeman Badu, has expressed his gratitude to all well wishers after making his return to action following a heart infection in August.

The Hellas Verona player had not played since joining the club in the summer after he was rushed to the hospital on August 14, 2019 for suffering pulmonary microembolism- blood clots.

But the combative midfielder returned to competitive action after making his cameo on his Gialloblu debut in their 2-0 win at Spal.

"Thank You All, I am grateful. God Bless You," he posted on Twitter.

He was introduced in the 80th minute when he replaced Mattia Zaccagni.

Badu had joined Hellas Verona, with and obligation to buy, from Italian rivals Udinese during the summer.

But the health scare sidelined him for six months where he received treatment to correct the problem.

Badu spent time off the pitch with his late pre-season.
