The exciting winger joined the Blues from Leicester City for £20m over the summer, but is still waiting for his first goal under Gary O’Neil.

Fatawu is currently away representing Ghana, who have had a tricky spell since exiting the World Cup to Colombia at the Round of 32 stage.

They lost their first two AFCON qualifiers, 2-0 away against Ivory Coast and 4-2 home to Gambia, sacking manager Carlos Quieroz before last month’s friendly game against Morocco was cancelled. Reports suggest that players were ‘rebelling over their financial dues’ and that many refused to travel.

The mood has lifted under interim boss Lars Kim Bjorkegren, who normally manages Ghana’s women’s team. He guided the Black Stars to victory against Somalia, where Fatawu started and played 86 minutes to earn his 33rd senior cap.

He was replaced by Coventry City's Brandon Thomas-Asante for the final few minutes.

Fatawu's side move up to third in Group C, three points behind Ivory Coast and Gambia, who face each other tonight. Town defender Abdoul Ouattara could make his international debut for the Elephants in that game.

Fatawu will return to action in their designated away game against Somalia – played on home soil in Accra – on Monday, November 16th.
