Asante Kotoko midfielder Richmond Lamptey is mourning the loss of his father, Mr Odarkwei Lamptey.
The sad incident occurred on Sunday night, a day after the Porcupine Warriors lost 1-0 to Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League.
Lamptey captained Kotoko in that game.
The team has wished its deputy captain and his family well.
“The thoughts of everyone associated with the club are with our deputy skipper and his family,” Kotoko said on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday, February 26.
