Salisu to “fight” for a spot in Monaco after recovering from injury

AS Monaco coach Adi Hutter has delivered a strong statement concerning the future of defender Mohammed Salisu.

While Monaco maintains its position at third in the French Ligue 1, attention has shifted to the anticipated return of Salisu from a persistent groin injury.

During a post-match press conference, Coach Hutter emphatically stated that Salisu, the 24-year-old Ghanaian center-back acquired from the English Premier League side Southampton, will not be given an automatic starting position upon his return.

“He is improving, and I am very happy with his performance. He had some time for adaptation to play in what is a new position for him, but he is a young man who has a lot of talent,” he said.

“He has his place in the team at the moment, so Mohammed Salisu will have to fight to get his,” he added.

Mohammed Salisu is making good progress in training and is expected to be fully fit after the international break, per reports.

The center back is yet to make his AS Monaco debut after undergoing surgery in September.
