Mohammed Salisu is a defender of the Black Stars
Black Stars and AS Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu is mourning the loss of his father, Abdul Karim, who sadly passed away.
According to sports journalist Abdul Wadudu Osman, who shared the news on social media platform X, Salisu’s father passed away in the early hours of Monday, April 7, 2025, at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
Osman’s post read: “Ghanaian and Monaco defender Mohammed Salisu has lost his father, Abdul Karim, who passed away at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital this morning. My thoughts are with Salisu and his family during these difficult times.”
Salisu was part of the Black Stars team that defeated Chad and Madagascar 5-0 and 3-0, respectively, in March 2025 during the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. After the international break, the former Southampton defender traveled back to France to assist Monaco in their pursuit of a European spot.
However, he has been an unused substitute in Monaco’s last two games against Nice and Brest. The 2017 champions currently sit third in the standings with 50 points after 28 games.
Salisu has yet to comment on the report of his father’s passing.
