Lawrence Ofori has finally shaken off the medical staff at Moreirense. The Ghanaian midfielder is back to full training, a welcome sight after six weeks sidelined with a muscular injury. While he’s fit again, his path back onto the pitch for Vasco Botelho da Costa’s squad looks unclear.
The long absence has changed things. Ofori now finds himself further down the pecking order. Players like Vasco Sousa and Afonso Assis have stepped up, becoming clearer choices for the coach. This makes a spot in the starting eleven much harder to earn. It’s a tough situation for any player returning from injury.
It’s worth remembering that Moreirense gave Ofori permission to seek a new club late in the summer transfer window. A move to Alanyaspor in Turkey didn’t work out. Now, with the new year approaching, Ofori is already eyeing the upcoming transfer market. He hopes to find a new team and a fresh challenge for his career.
