Ampomah posted a photo on his Facebook account announcing the news while throwing his weight behind his colleagues, who will be competing at the IAAF World Championships in London from 4-13 August, 2017. He wrote:

“It’s been a long day and I had a successful surgery. I’m grateful to everyone who supported me. Now, it’s time relax and cheer for Team Ghana! #SpeakLife #Iwillcomebackstronger #recovery #Javelinthrow.

John is on record to have won the Liquid Sports Ghana Male Athlete of the Year a record two-times.

While not disclosing the type of injury the necessitated the surgery, his right shoulder appeared heavily strapped.

We wish him speedy recovery!!
