"This is for you Alidu Seidu," the club wrote.

Seidu will be out for six to nine months following an awkward fall during the match against Lille.

He will miss Ghana's World Cup qualifiers in March against Chad and Madagascar.

The 24-year-old, who was part of Ghana's squad for the AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger, pulled out of the game against the latter following a knock in the match against the Palancas Negras in Luanda.

Seidu's injury big blow to Ghana

Seidu has been one of Ghana's best players during the difficult Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

He scored one of the Black Stars' three goals in the qualifiers, netting a belter against Niger in Morocco on matchday 2. It was his debut goal in a Black Stars jersey, as reported by Ghana Soccernet.

The defender has cemented the right-back role and has been coach Otto Addo's first-choice.
