Super Eagles defender Williams Troost-Ekong has made his long-awaited return to training after being sidelined for nearly three months.

The defender had been nursing an injury sustained during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, which kept him out of action for an extended period.

Ekong ,30, has resumed full training, marking a crucial milestone in his recovery journey.

His return couldn’t come at a better time for his club, PAOK Salonica, as they gear up for the final three league matches of the season.

The CB’s availability will undoubtedly bolster the team’s defensive lineup and provide a much-needed boost as they aim to finish the season on a high note.

Moreover, Ekong’s comeback is a significant boost for the Super Eagles as they prepare for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic and South Africa.

With his experience and defensive abilities, his presence in the squad will strengthen Nigeria’s chances in these crucial matches.

The former Watford and Udinese, was sorely missed during the last international window, where the Super Eagles contested friendlies against Mali and Ghana.

His return to fitness is undoubtedly a relief for head Coach Finidi George, as Nigeria looks to secure vital victories in their quest for World Cup qualification.
