Rodney Strasser has confirmed receiving several football items as a donation from his former club AC Milan during their 122nd-Anniversary celebrations on Thursday.

The AC Milan Foundation has considered having a chapter in Sierra Leone due to its good relationship with its former player.

Fondazione Milan was established in 2003, intending to offer social engagement from AC Milan to meet the needs of local communities in difficult and socially emarginated circumstances.

The foundation intends to build a world that helps young people to grow through sport to discover and better themselves by gaining balance and wellbeing and, in turn, actively contribute to the growth and improvement of their community.

He was part of the AC Milan squad that won the 2010–11 Serie A and their 18th league title.

Born in Freetown, Strasser began his career with local club Kallon before moving to Italy to join Milan in 2007. Rodney Strasser will always be remembered for his first professional goal in a 1–0 league win over Cagliari on 6 January.

AC Milan Technical Director Paolo Cesare Maldini and other Milan Stars were Part of the Celebrations.

Meanwhile, the club prepared a special gift to its fans with a tribute to Tony Renis and Massimo Guantini, authors of the historic anthem that have accompanied Rossoneri’s for many years.

Sierra Leone defender Alie Sesay revealed his delight after being named in the Indonesia BRI Liga 1 round 16 Team of the Week.

The former Leicester City player has been in fine form this season and was impressive in Persebaya 3-0 win over Persib at the Maguwuharjo Stadium on Wednesday.

In thirteen appearances for his Indonesian side, Sesay has helped the team unbeaten in twelve games, nine wins and three draws.

“It’s nice to be recognised for my good performance, and five clean sheets in a row is what every central defender wants,” Sesay to FSL Sports.

They are fourth on the log, seven points adrift from leaders Bhayangkara Surabaya and to compete for the championship title, a strong defence is a necessity.

Persebaya next outing is a home game against Bali United on Monday.

Kargbo, 21, surgery was successful and has been out since April.

“The forward will spend the next three months in a cast, after which he will start full rehabilitation,” Olimpik Donetsk said in a statement after his operation. 

Born in Sierra Leone, Kargbo junior has represented Belgium at the youth international level.

In December 2019, he signed for the Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv.
