Popular artiste and activist, Folarin Falana, is not at all a ghost. So, he cannot be said to be back from the land of the dead. Yet, like a dog that successfully returns from a trip to a lion’s den, he has seen a bit of not being alive.
He has, in the past months, being out of circulation due to an injury he suffered while trying to become Messi or Ronaldo. That is a bad joke because all he was doing was playing football obviously for relaxation and to feed his passion. The accident was, however, so bad that he had to undergo a surgery but now he is talking about his journey to recovery.
In an Interview with Cool FM, he revealed that he had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
The 32-year-old light-heartedly recalled a hypothetical scenario involving a trial with the legendary Arsenal football club during the conversation.
He quipped that his exceptional skills as a striker led to envy among other players, resulting in their attempt to sabotage him and sideline him from the team.
However, joking apart, Falz detailed the seriousness of the situation. He underwent an ACL reconstruction surgery due to the severity of the injury.
He described the period as one of the most challenging times in his life, highlighting the physical and emotional difficulties he had to endure.
Falz’s journey to recovery did not end with the surgical procedure as, according to him, he is currently undergoing an extensive rehabilitation process, which includes intensive physiotherapy.
Falz expressed gratitude for the progress he has made so far.
He said: “I’m glad I’m back up and running. IT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR ME.”
