Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi has been sidelined for a year with a knee injury.
While a medical examination revealed a meniscus tear (a common football injury requiring surgery with a 4-6 week recovery), Antwi believes his persistent pain stems from black magic, also known as ‘juju’.
Speaking to Sompa FM, Antwi denied ever using black magic himself but claimed those who target him with it will suffer.
“With the way my injury has been, I think there’s something behind it,” Antwi said regarding his injury. “But if you used black magic on me, none of us are playing now. If you used black magic, the goal is now empty. None of the three goalkeepers is in the goal,” he said.
“I’ve never used black magic before. You might use it on me, but you will also not have peace.”
Despite acknowledging the medical diagnosis, Antwi suggests there’s a more mysterious explanation for his pain.
“The doctors said it was a meniscus tear in my right knee. I feel pain when I bend my knee,” he added.
Antwi joined Hearts of Oak in 2022 on a three-year contract but missed the entire recently concluded season due to the injury.
