Alidu Seidu of Stade Rennes suffered an ACL injury on November 25, 2024 in a French Ligue tie against Lille. Issahaku and Seidu have been ruled out of competing in the 2024-2025 campaign.
Prior to his injury, Nuamah had six goals and two assists in 33 games in all competitions and scored in Ghana’s 5-0 win over Chad in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
