AS Monaco vice-captain, Youssouf Fofana, has delivered a positive remark about the performance of Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu over the latter’s return to action following a long spell out due to injury.
Fofana said this in a post game interview after Monaco recorded a 2-1 win over Stade Rennes in the French Ligue 1. The win moves Monaco to second place in the league standings behind PSG at the time of writing.
The game marked Salisu’s return to action and his debut outing for Monaco after joining the French Principality club this past offseason from Southampton.
Speaking on Salisu’s return, Fofana, who captained Monaco in the Rennes game, said, “This evening we saw it in his performance, he immediately was in form he showed us that we can count on him. It does him a lot of good to come back to competition.”
“He trained for a long time away from the group, sometimes two sessions a day. We saw him every day, he worked hard.”
Monaco plays Olympique Lyon next on Friday, December 15 in a game that could have Salisu face fellow Black Stars player Ernest Nuamah.
