Enyeama Close To Full fitness After Long Injury Lay-Off

Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has given an indication that he is close to full

fitness after a long, injury lay-off.

35-year-old Enyeama has not been in action since getting injured while playing for Lille in April, and he has been undergoing intense rehabilitation.

He had a surgery on his knee in May and it has been a long, hard road back to fitness.

However, a post on social media on Tuesday suggests that the injury nightmare could soon be over.

“And after 6months.1st group training.thanks be to God.and everyone who worked tirelessly for me to get here,” Enyeama, Nigeria’s most capped player with 101 international appearances, tweeted.

He also posted a 52-second video of himself at training, facing shots and doing short runs on the pitch.

Enyeama retired from the national team in 2015 after falling out with then Super Eagles head coach Sunday Oliseh but there is a possibility of his return as current Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is a huge admirer.

On the club front, Enyeama might have to look for a new club as Lille manager Marcelo Bielsa surprisingly made it clear upon his arrival in the summer that the Nigerian and several other players were not in his plans.
