Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has paid a morale-boosting visit to Mohammed Salisu in France as the defender continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.The AS Monaco centre-back suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a French Ligue 1 encounter against Olympique Lyonnais, a setback that has ruled the 26-year-old out for the remainder of the season.The injury also casts serious doubt over his availability for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.Following successful surgery, Addo met Salisu to offer personal encouragement and discuss Ghana’s World Cup ambitions, reaffirming the defender’s importance to the national team despite the long road to recovery ahead.Prior to the injury, Salisu had established himself as a key figure in Monaco’s defence, delivering assured performances in the absence of Soungoutou Magassa Mawissa and experienced centre-back Eric Dier.
