Stade Rennes players pay tribute to injured Alidu Seidu in 5-0 win over Saint-Étienne

French Ligue 1 side Stade Rennes delivered an emphatic 5-0 win against Saint-Étienne on Saturday at Roazhon Park, with a heartfelt tribute to injured defender Alidu Seidu.

Amine Gouiri scored Rennes’ third goal and celebrated by holding up Seidu’s jersey, a gesture warmly received by the home crowd.

The Ghana international has been sidelined for the rest of the season following a knee injury sustained last weekend.

Forward Arnaud Kalimuendo stole the show with a stunning hat-trick, while Ludovic Blas added another goal to secure the comprehensive victory.

Rennes climbed to 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings with this crucial win.

Seidu had been a mainstay in the Rennes defense, featuring in every match this season before his injury.

He is expected to be out for 8-9 months, which means he will likely miss Ghana’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar in March 2025.

The team’s tribute underscores the unity and support for their teammate during his challenging recovery period.
