Black Stars and AS Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu is set to be on the sidelines for months after his club confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on Monday, January 5.
“At the very end of the match against Olympique Lyonnais, our centre-back Mohammed Salisu suffered an injury to his left knee,” the club said in a statement.
“Medical examinations revealed a torn anterior cruciate ligament.”
The former Southampton defender played the entire 90 minutes of the 3-1 home loss to Lyon.
AS Monaco have assured of supporting the defender throughout his recovery “and is behind him all the way”.
Salisu has been a regular at Stade Louis II since joining in 2023.
