Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu happy with Monaco debut after injury return against Stade Rennes

Ghana international Mohammed Salisu has shared his excitement after making his long-awaited debut for AS Monaco on injury return against Stade Rennes in the French Ligue 1.

The Black Stars defender debut for the French giants delayed due to an injury setback.  He joined the club in the summer transfer window from Southampton but had to wait until the week 15 to play his first game for the club.

Salisu started the game and lasted the entire duration as his outfit cruised to a 2-1 away win over their opponent.

Despite receiving a yellow card in the 62nd minute, Salisu showcased resilience and dedication, earning a commendable 7.6 rating for his spirited performance.

“I’m happy to make my debut for Monaco honestly. It’s being a longtime I didn’t play and today, I got the chance to play 90 minutes. I’m very proud of myself and I’m very happy from the journey, it’s being a difficult journey but at the end I made my debut today so I’m very happy

“For me, it’s an amazing feeling, everyone was happy for me, I’m very grateful for everyone here” he said.

The Ghanaian defender now aims to maintain fitness, harbouring aspirations of reclaiming a spot in the Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) set to take place in Ivory Coast.

Salisu’s successful debut adds a promising chapter to his football journey with AS Monaco, highlighting his potential impact on both club and international stages.
