Mohammed Salisu
ASM
Continues comeback in training
Salisu (knee) is progressing in his recovery from a torn ACL, having rejoined Monaco's group training after also missing the 2026 World Cup, according to RMC Sport.
Analysis: Salisu tore the ACL in his left knee on Jan. 3 during a loss to Lyon, undergoing surgery the following day, after starting all 18 matches he played that season, a mark of how important he'd become to Monaco's backline. New coach Filipe Luis has already made clear he views the defender's experience as a real asset heading into the new campaign, with a return to competitive action hoped for before the September international break, even if a full return to form will take longer. Salisu is expected to continue his buildup toward full training in the coming weeks.
Back on grass with ball
Salisu (knee) was spotted training on the grass with the ball Thursday, marking another step forward in his recovery from the ACL tear he suffered at the start of the year, the club posted.
Analysis: Salisu has been making steady progress through his rehabilitation after the serious knee injury, and getting back on the pitch with the ball is a meaningful milestone after earlier stages of his recovery focused on bike work. The center-back remains several months away from returning to competitive action and is not expected back until the autumn at the earliest, but the encouraging trajectory of his recovery bodes well for his availability at the start of the 2026/27 campaign for Monaco.
