Tariq Lamptey reacts after making injury return against Newcastle United

Published on: 31 July 2023

Black Stars defender, Tariq Lamptey, has reacted following his return from injury.

The 22-year-old made an injury on Friday against Newcastle United in the Premier League Summer Series in the USA.

Brighton wrapped up their campaign with a 2-1 defeat against the Magpies.

The game marked the first appearance of the right-back since March. Lamptey has been nursing an injury following an injury he suffered against West Ham United.

The injury kept Lamptey out of Ghana's game against Madagascar in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in June.

After making a return to the field, Lamptey took to social media, the elated defender expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank God always! Enjoyed being back out there, now time to push on."

Lamptey's comeback is a massive boost for Brighton and Hove especially with their upcoming busy season following their qualification to Europe.

He has been linked with a move to Portuguese side, Sporting Lisbon but seems Lamptey will be part of Robert De Zerbi's core team.

Lamptey's return is also good news for the Black Stars ahead of the AFCON qualifier against the Central African Republic in September.
