Africa-Press – Ghana. Amiens SC defender Nicholas Opoku is delighted to return to the pitch after playing his first 90 minutes of the season in the 1-1 stalemate at Caen in the French second-tier at the weekend.
The 24-year-old has been knocked back by recurrent injuries – leaving him out of action for almost a year.
The Ghana international played full throttle for the first time this season as his side shared the spoils against Caen at the Stade Michel d’Ornano.
Played my first 90 minutes of the season yesterday – my season has been marred by injuries but happy to hit the grounds running again for @AmiensSC!
Glory be to God!🙏❤️🇬🇭 pic.twitter.com/pQ7kBcxRqT

It was only his fourth appearance of the season, but it was his first start in many months due to a serious injury.
Opoku suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and had surgery, which sidelined him for a year.
In February, he returned to training and was allowed to play for the Amiens B team.
Opoku was cleared to play for the first team in early March and made his season debut against Toulouse, playing 27 minutes.
He then played 9 minutes against Valenciennes and 11 minutes against Bastia the following weekend.
Opoku stayed in the game the entire time on Saturday. He was tenacious in defence and helped Amiens earn a point away from home.
