Ernest Nuamah suffers injury in Lyon's home defeat to AS Monaco

Ghana winger Ernest Nuamah suffered an injury during Olympique Lyon's match against AS Monaco on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

The 23-year-old started for Lyon in their French Ligue 1 fixture at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais but was replaced by Georges Mikautadze in the 18th minute due to the injury.

After Nuamah's departure, Lyon fell 2-0 to Monaco, leaving them at the bottom of the league table with no points from their first two games of the 2024/25 season.

The full extent of Nuamah's injury is still unknown, but it is anticipated that he will miss Ghana's upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying fixtures against Angola and Niger in September.

The Black Stars are scheduled to play Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium on September 5, followed by their away match against Niger on September 9.
