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. Addo has recently adopted a proactive and supportive approach with his players, making similar visits to Abdul Mumin, Mohammed Kudus, Ernest Nuamah and other Black Stars players sidelined by injury. The Black Stars coach is expected to announce his final World Cup squad on June 1.
