Injured Black Stars defender, Alidu Seidu has been spending quality time with his family as he works his way back to full fitness following an anterior cruciate ligament tear he suffered in November last year.
The 24-year-old suffered the end-of-season injury during a French Ligue 1 game for Stade Rennais against Lille. Despite the setback, he has been handed a new deal by the French club, extending his stay until 2029.

In a photo shared on social media, Seidu was spotted with his wife and son, dressed up for an event.
It was unclear if the event was from his contract extension day but the young family looked cheerful.
Meanwhile, Seidu is expected to return to full fitness this summer and also play a huge role next season.
Before his devastating injury, the versatile defender was Rennais' best player, winning back-to-back Player of the Month awards.
He missed Ghana's final Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Niger last year and was also not part of the team for March's World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
In Ligue 1 this season, the former Clermont Foot defender has made 11 appearances for his club.
Seidu delighted to extend Rennais contract
The hardworking defender inked a new deal to keep him at Stade Rennais until June 2029 and said he was glad to be staying on.

His initial deal was expected to expire in 2028 but after a good run with the club since joining them in January 2024, the top hierarchy decided to reward him with a fresh deal.
"It's a huge honour to have extended his contract and to continue this wonderful adventure. I'm very happy, and this extension means a lot to me. The important thing for me was to continue at Stade Rennais; that's what I wanted," he said.
As reported by Ghana Soccernet, he added: "I'm very happy here, in a great club with fantastic supporters. I want to thank everyone who contributed to my extension."
Seidu moved to France from JMG Academy in 2019 to join Clermont Foot, where he started with the B team before gradually making it through the ranks. He spent a few seasons at the club before earning a move to Rennais.
