Fatawu Issahaku is now subjected to a mandatory suspension that will see him sidelined for three crucial games.
His suspension adds a layer of challenge for both the player and the team, considering his significant contributions on the field, especially in upcoming matches where his talents would have been valuable.
Barring any appeal, the next game he will be available for is against Sheffield on Wednesday 13th February, two days after the AFCON2023 final.
Opting for a chance at redemption over a potential national call-up, he is going to be on the couch watching every game unfold
