Ghana coach Akonnor delighted by Dwamena return after seven-month absence

Ghana coach CK Akonnor has expressed his excitement by the return of Levante forward Raphael Dwamena to the pitch after a lengthy lay-off.

The striker resumed training on Saturday, seven months after being forced off by a heart condition. He went under the knife in January.

"I have been there before and it is not easy for a young player to go through what Raphael Dwamena went through," Akonnor, who featured for German sides Wolfsburg, Fortuna Cologne and SpVgg Unterhaching during his playing days, posted on Twitter on Sunday.

"[I] had a chat with him and I’m happy to see him back in training.
