SIERRA LEONE INTERNATIONAL AUGUSTUS KARGBO HAS MARKED HIS LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL, FEATURING IN BLACKBURN ROVERS’ 2-2 PRE-SEASON DRAW AFTER SPENDING THE ENTIRETY OF LAST SEASON SIDELINED WITH INJURY.
THE FORWARD, WHO ENDURED A FRUSTRATING CAMPAIGN WATCHING FROM THE SIDELINES, COULDN’T HIDE HIS JOY AT BEING BACK IN ACTION. TAKING TO SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER THE MATCH, KARGBO SHARED HIS RELIEF WITH A SIMPLE BUT HEARTFELT MESSAGE: “FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK ON THE PITCH.”
THE PRE-SEASON APPEARANCE REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN KARGBO’S RECOVERY JOURNEY AND OFFERS HOPE TO BOTH THE PLAYER AND BLACKBURN ROVERS SUPPORTERS AHEAD OF THE NEW CAMPAIGN.
KARGBO’S COMEBACK WILL ALSO BE WELCOME NEWS FOR SIERRA LEONE’S NATIONAL TEAM, WHO HAVE BEEN WITHOUT ONE OF THEIR KEY PLAYERS DURING HIS LENGTHY REHABILITATION PERIOD.
