Black Stars defender, Alidu Seidu, has revealed he suffered an injury during his first football trial after arriving in France that almost saw him return to Ghana.

Born in Aboabo, Ghana, the player is a graduate of the Ghanaian branch of the JMG Academy.

After joining the academy, it took some time for Seidu to experience his first travel outside Ghana with them. But he eventually had an opportunity to do so as he arrived in France for a trial with Troyes.

A player who had barely suffered injuries during his time in Ghana picked up serious injuries in his two trials with the French club.

"My first justify was in Troyes," he told the Star Connect team.

"I went there and the first training that I had, I injured my ankle. My ankle got broken. I went there again for the second time, I did the trials for two weeks and I got injured again.

"The team told me I am not a strong player and I am injury prone so they won't select me."

A failed trial with Troyes however, saw him get an opportunity with Clermont where he has been playing since 2020.
