The Ghanaian central defender, Mohammed Salisu, who joined Monaco this summer from Southampton, victim of pubalgia since the start of the season, “will undergo surgery in the coming days”, indicated Friday the Principality club. “Following persistent pain felt during the truce, Mohammed Salisu (pubalgia) will undergo surgery in the coming days,” the Monaco club said late Friday afternoon in a press release, without estimating the time of absence of the Ghanaian.

Engaged with Monaco for five seasons since August 1, Salisu, 24, who was transferred to the Principality for 15 million euros, has not yet played in an official match with the Rouge et Blanc. If the club has not communicated the duration of the player’s absence, it will be several weeks.
