Ghanaian defender, Alidu Seidu was in action for French side Stade Rennes during their 4-0 loss to FC Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday, August 24, 2025.
The Black Stars defender played a few minutes for his side as they succumbed to a heavy loss in their first match of the season.
This marks Seidu’s return from an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury that truncated his 2024/2025 season after being sidelined for months.

Speaking in an interview with Owuraku Ampofo, the defender noted that he is training assiduously to be ranked among the best right backs in the world.
“When you love what you do, I think it makes it easier for you. There’s no secret; it’s just hard work and love for the game. I hope to give my all as a center back. I want to learn from right backs like Hakimi and Kyle Walker and do well,” he said.
