Tariq Lamptey has suffered an ACL injury
Defender Tariq Lamptey has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his left knee, according to his club Fiorentina.
Lamptey, 24, joined Fiorentina from Brighton and Hove Albion this summer in search of a fresh start, but his time in Italy has been rocked by the serious injury.
The right-back, known for his explosive pace and attacking flair, has unfortunately built a reputation for repeated spells on the sidelines throughout his career.
An ACL tear typically requires several months of recovery, raising fears that Lamptey could miss the rest of the season and possibly Ghana’s upcoming international fixtures.

The news comes as a blow not only to Fiorentina, who invested in Lamptey to strengthen their defense, but also to Ghanaian fans who had hoped to see him reclaim his best form after years of stop-start campaigns in England.
