The Toulouse midfielder went down after a challenge in the first half, twisting his leg awkwardly before collapsing to the turf. The immediate reaction from his teammates showed the severity of the injury, with several calling urgently for medical assistance.

Abu was stretchered off moments later, unable to put any weight on the injured leg. Alidu Seidu was brought on to replace him as Ghana regrouped, though the atmosphere around the team remained sombre after the incident.
