He was Stade Rennais' best defender since the start of the season, probably also one of its best players. Alidu Seidu's season came to an abrupt end on Sunday November 24 in the 12th minute of Lille – Rennes, when the Ghanaian international turned his knee on an almost innocuous clearance. Before writhing in pain and heading to the locker room in tears.
The examinations taken this Monday by Seidu confirmed the fears of the day before: the player is the victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee, as confirmed by the club, and he will undergo surgery.
Seidu's season is therefore probably over, and it is also a big blow for Stade Rennais, Sampaoli having previously mentioned the importance that Seidu must have had for him, having become a leader in a group which sorely lacks one.
