All things considered, an interview he granted in 2020 has popped up with the footballer explaining why he wasn’t ready to hang his boots despite his health condition.

“Obviously, it was not a good feeling to have to leave football, it was a hard blow to stop playing at that time. But I knew that I would play again because God is always faithful and is always with me,” Dwamena explained in the interview.

“Taking the news was not a problem. And the media will publish everything they hear, that’s not something new, it always happens.

“At all times. I always feel like nothing is wrong with me. I believe that God is the one who takes care of my heart. I may have symptoms of heart problems or other things, but I am never afraid. God is with me.”
