Black Stars defender, Alexander Djiku
Black Stars defender, Alexander Djiku will miss Racing Club Strasbourg's trip to AS Monaco in Ligue due to suspension.
The 28-year-old has accumulated five yellow cards this season, ruling him out of the crucial encounter against the French giants.
His absence will be a huge blow for manager Frédéric Antonetti, who is also without Colin Dagba and Dimitri Lienard.
"There are a few small sores. Morgan Sanson has a little uncertainty. Alex Djiku is suspended. Colin Dagba, Maxime Le Marchand and Dimitri Liénard are out," said Antonetti in the pre-match presser.
Djiku also suffered a knock in Ghana's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola in Kumasi and had to be replaced by Joseph Aidoo in the final ten minutes of the 1-0 win.
The Montpellier-born centre-back missed the trip to Luanda due to the setback.
However, his absence in tomorrow's Ligue 1 game is due to suspension rather than the injury he sustained.
Djiku has been a key figure at Strasbourg this season, scoring a goal in 25 league games.
