Consequently, the player was stretchered off the field shortly after scoring the decisive goal that secured Gor Mahia’s 1–0 victory over Bandari FC — a goal that handed the club yet another major trophy.

Following the incident, Gor Mahia’s medical team swiftly moved to provide an official statement to clarify the nature of the injury and address growing speculation among supporters.

“Medical assessment and imaging confirmed a soft tissue injury to the shoulder region,” said the club team doctor Brian Odongo.

The doctor further assured fans that no fracture or severe structural damage had been detected, but he emphasized that the recovery timeline remains uncertain.

“While the diagnosis rules out more severe damage like a fracture, the player’s recovery timeline remains uncertain. He is currently under medical management, with follow-up sessions planned to monitor his recovery and determine his readiness to return to play,” Dr. Odongo added.

The news of Adukwaw’s setback comes as a major blow for Gor Mahia, who have heavily depended on the Ghanaian’s explosive pace, technical skill, and creativity in attack. 

Since joining the club during the off-season transfer window, the winger has been in sensational form — scoring three goals and providing a key assist that helped Gor Mahia maintain their dominant start to the campaign.

His brace against Sofapaka in the SportPesa League and the match-winning strike against Bandari in the ODM@20 final have cemented his status as one of the most influential players in the current squad. .

Gor Mahia head coach Charles Akonnor and his technical bench have, however, maintained a positive outlook, expressing optimism that their star winger will make a swift and complete recovery. The coach described Adukwaw as a player whose energy, flair, and attacking instincts are vital to the club’s ambitions this season.

Gor Mahia supporters have taken to social media to send messages of encouragement and speedy recovery to the Ghanaian winger.

His impact since arriving at the club has been immediate and impressive, transforming Gor Mahia’s frontline with his fearless runs and precise finishing. 

The medical team’s confirmation that the injury is not more serious has come as a relief, though uncertainty remains over when he will be fit to return to action.
