Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has returned to training with his Trabzonspor teammates ahead of Saturday’s high-stakes Turkish Süper Lig showdown against second-placed Fenerbahçe. The Nigerian forward had missed an earlier session due to a minor knock but took part in Wednesday’s training, easing concerns over his fitness for the big match.
Onuachu has been in excellent form this season, scoring 15 goals in the Süper Lig and sitting near the top of the scoring charts as Trabzonspor target a pivotal win in the title chase.
Trabzonspor are set to host Fenerbahçe at Papara Park in what promises to be a decisive league encounter. Onuachu’s return to full training is a major boost for coach Fatih Tekke, who had been cautious following the striker’s minor injury.
The 31 year old scored a brace in his side’s recent 3–0 win over Samsunspor, continuing his prolific scoring run that has kept him among the league’s most feared forwards this term. A victory against Fenerbahçe would close the gap on the Istanbul giants in the title race.
