Ghanaian defender Mohammed Salisu has earned a spot in the UEFA Champions League Team of the Week following a standout performance in AS Monaco's 2-2 draw on Wednesday night.

Salisu was instrumental in his team's efforts, delivering a commanding display at the heart of the defense.

His solid performance included winning two out of three ground duels and making three crucial interceptions that helped stifle the opposition's attack.

Beyond his defensive prowess, the 25-year-old center-back demonstrated his attacking ability by scoring one of Monaco's two goals, adding to his growing reputation as a well-rounded defender.

His inclusion in the prestigious Team of the Week was decided by UEFA's technical observer panel, underscoring the increasing impact Salisu is making in this year's Champions League campaign.

As AS Monaco aims for a deep run in the tournament, Salisu's form will be vital to their aspirations.
