PFAG members with William Essu
The Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) has extended support to Legon Cities goalkeeper William Essu, who has been grappling with a severe illness for several weeks.
Essu has been battling for his life after a serious sickness for the past weeks.
The goalkeeper reportedly sent a mail to Ghana's U23 head coach Ibrahim Tanko, pleading for their qualification bonus to be paid in order for him to use it to receive medical treatment.
To show solidarity, the Vice President of PFAG, Tetteh Zutah, and the General Secretary, Anthony Baffoe, paid a visit to William Essu.
Tetteh Zutah and Anthony Baffoe offered their support and words of encouragement, to uplift the spirits of the goalkeeper in his difficult period of illness.
Essu who is known for his exceptional skills as a goalkeeper, was profoundly moved by the visit.
