Accra Hearts of Oak have received a major boost as dynamic midfielder Abdul Karim has fully recovered from injury and is available for selection ahead of their crucial Ghana Premier League fixture against Bibiani Gold Stars.
The towering midfielder picked up an injury during the Phobians’ Week 4 clash against his former club, Bechem United, at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, which kept him out of action for few weeks. His absence left a noticeable gap in the middle of the park, where his strength, calmness, and ability to break up play have been instrumental in the team’s recent performances.
Following weeks of rehabilitation under the guidance of the club’s medical staff, Karim has now been declared match-fit and has resumed full training with his teammates. His return provides a timely boost for Hearts of Oak, who are keen to maintain their unbeaten run in the ongoing campaign.
A club insider confirmed the midfielder’s return, describing him as an “indispensable member of the team” whose energy, tactical discipline, and passing accuracy will be vital in upcoming matches.
Hearts of Oak will be targeting maximum points when they lock horns with Bibiani Gold Stars this weekend, and the inclusion of Abdul Karim is expected to enhance their midfield stability and attacking transition.
The former Nations FC midfielder joined the Phobians with a reputation for his commanding performances and has quickly won over the fans with his consistency, leadership, and work ethic on the field.
With Karim back in contention, head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani will have more options and tactical flexibility in midfield as Hearts of Oak continue their pursuit of success in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
