Paul Onuachu has returned to full training ahead of Trabzonspor’s Turkish Super Lig clash against İstanbul Başakşehir on Sunday, Bold Sports reports.
The Super Eagles striker missed Trabzonspor’s previous league game against Alanyaspor after sustaining a muscle injury. In his absence, Fatih Tekke’s side were held to a 1-1 draw, ending their seven-match winning streak across all competitions.
However, in recently released images by the club, Onuachu was spotted training alongside his teammates, suggesting he could be close to making a return as Trabzonspor aim to get back to winning ways.
Onuachu has been in outstanding form this season, spearheading Trabzonspor’s push for a first league title since 2022. The Nigerian International has scored 22 league goals and added two assists, while registering 24 goals in all competitions.
