By Emmanuel Austin Baah Last updated Nov 21, 2025

Francis Abu’s condition has shown remarkable improvement following a successful surgical procedure in Japan. As expected, the operation produced excellent results, and the player is said to be in high spirits.

According to medical updates, Abu’s initial rehabilitation is progressing smoothly and in line with the recovery plan outlined by his doctors. He is expected to be discharged from the Toyota Memorial Hospital later this weekend.

Gratitude has been extended to the team of surgeons at the Toyota Memorial Hospital, the Black Stars medical department led by Dr Prince Pambo, as well as the medical staff of Toulouse FC for their swift intervention and continuous support.

Officials remain confident that Abu will make a strong and determined return to competitive football once his full rehabilitation is completed.
