Ghana defender, Mohammed Salisu, says all his teammates were happy for him to be making his return from injury.
The 24-year-old central defender recovered from a groin injury to make his AS Monaco debut as they won 2-1 against Stade Rennes on Saturday.
It was his first game in nearly nine months when he featured for Southampton in a 3-3 draw against Tottenham in March 2023.
Speaking after the game, Salisu was thrilled to be making his return from injury.
“I am very happy to make my debut. Honestly, it’s been a long time I did not play and today I got the chance to play 90 minutes.
“I am very proud of myself. I am very happy for the journey; it’s been a difficult journey but at the end, I made my debut today so I am very happy.
“For me it was an amazing feeling, you know. Everyone was happy for me. I’m very grateful for the support from everyone.”
