Ghanaian international winger Samuel Tetteh claimed his first career major title with Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg on Saturday despite not featuring in the second round of the Austrian league season due to an injury.
The former West Africa Football Academy winger tormented defenders in the Austrian first division with Liefering but was unable to reproduce his form with Salzburg due to a knee injury.
Despite not playing in the second half of the season, Samuel will be eligible for a medal due to to the fact that he was a registered member of the 23-man Salzburg first team.
The Ghana international is regarded as a rising star in Austrian football and doctors are optimistic that he will be ready for the start of next season.
He was a member of the Ghana team that played at the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon and is expected to be a key part of new Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah’s team.
