Elisha Owusu does not lose hope of hitting PO2 after a very disappointing season: "I have had a very difficult period this season," said the latter to Het Laatste Nieuws.

“I had to deal with a knee injury, I had Covid. I was also on the bench for several games because I couldn't get back to my form. I had never experienced anything like this and before. But by not letting go and continuing to work despite all the difficulties, you are rewarded in the end,"

Owusu struggled for a long time with his injury: "The injury bothered me a lot, in my movements and in my passes. I even walked differently, I was less flexible. In addition to that with the Covid, I had trouble to find my breath. I had no smell or taste anymore, I felt very tired, with a high temperature. I wanted so much to help the team, but I felt too bad to do anything. I really suffered,"

Today Elisha Owusu is ready to play an important role: "In all modesty, I think last season I was among the best defensive midfielders in Belgium. The difference with this season was huge. But during this period, I received a lot of support from my family and my manager, Mohamed Benchenafi. They told me if I kept serious everything would come back. I took this message to heart, I was always the first in training and the last to leave,"
