Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Black Stars midfielder Richmond Lamptey has lost his father Mr Odarkwei Lamptey.<\/b><\/p>\n

Mr Lamptey passed away on Sunday night after a battle with illness, casting a shadow of sadness over the Kotoko family.<\/p>\n

The devastating news reached Lamptey while he was with his teammates, having just arrived from Kpando. As the information unfolded, Kotoko swiftly expressed their condolences and solidarity with their deputy skipper, acknowledging the impact of the loss.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by the club, they stated, \u201cAsante Kotoko is deeply saddened by the death of Richmond Lamptey\u2019s father, Mr Odarkwei Lamptey, whose passing occurred last night. The thoughts of everyone associated with the club are with our deputy skipper and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The midfielder has been excused from club duties to mourn the passing of his father.<\/p>\n

Lamptey was one of the three local-based players invited by former Black Stars coach Chris Hughton for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

The porcupines are however focused on bouncing back from their loss to Heart of Lions on Saturday as they face Bibiani Gold Stars in their next Ghana Premier League game.<\/p>\n

They currently sit fourth on the table with 29 points after 18 games.<\/p>\n
