The 27-year-old made a late appearance in AS Monaco's recent match against RC Lens, where the Principality club secured a 2-1 victory in the Ligue 1 league. Monaco's unbeaten start to the 2026/27 campaign under coach Filipe Luís was further extended by Salisu's participation. Although his time on the field was limited, the former Southampton centre-back managed to make two clearances, contributing to Monaco's defensive efforts. Salisu's return to action is a significant milestone for him, marking a positive step in his recovery journey.
