In a matchday 12 encounter of the ongoing 2022/23 French Ligue 1 campaign, the highly-rated defender started for his team in the heart of defense.

Unfortunately, he suffered an injury setback in the 24th minute of the contest and called for medical attention.

Unable to continue the game, Alexander Djiku had to be substituted for his place to be taken by Lucas Perin.

Although the extent of the injury is yet to be ascertained, he now risks missing a place in the Ghana squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The tournament is less than a month away from kicking off in Qatar.

If Djiku is to be part of the squad, his injury setback today should not be serious.

At the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Ghana will face Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea in Group H.
