The national U-23 players have donated an amount of GH\u00a213,000 to Legon Cities goalkeeper, William Essu.<\/p>\n

Essu, who was part of Ghana\u2019s team which beat Algeria in the final round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers has been dealing with a serious medical issue for some time.<\/p>\n

The urgency of the matter came to the known after a letter from the goalkeeper to then-Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko demanding his winning bonuses from the Algeria game went viral.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There was concern that his condition would eventually be beyond repair following the death of his Legon Cities teammate Sylvester Sackey, also a goalkeeper who passed on after battling with a short illness.<\/p>\n

However, the Black Meteors players have responded swiftly to the issue with a cash donation hoping to see the player back on his feet as fit as a fiddle.<\/p>\n

The donation follows that of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Foundation\u2019s GH\u00a210,000 support to the shot-stopper as well as a notable donation from the Nicholas Opoku foundation.<\/p>\n

The player was earlier visited by the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), an entity which seeks the welfare of professional Ghanaian footballers.<\/p>\n
