Troost-Ekong Returns To Full Training At PAOK Salonica

William Troost-Ekong has returned to full training at Greek club, PAOK Salonica following a spell on the sidelines due to injury.

Troost-Ekong ruptured the biceps femoris in his right leg at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in January.

The centre-back, who was named Player of the Tournament in Cote d’Ivoire played through the pain barrier at the competition.

Troost-Ekong was however pictured in training with his teammates on Wednesday.

The defender is now expected to be available for PAOK Salonica’s last three league games of the season.

His return will be a big boost for Nigeria, who will keep a date with South Africa and Benin in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.

The Super Eagles are yet to record a win in the qualifying series.
