Promising Super Eagles newcomer, Gift Orban, is back in training with his club, KAA Gent, as he recovers from an injury setback, MySportDab reports.
The talented striker had recently received a call-up to represent the Nigerian national team in the crucial Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against São Tomé but was unable to make his debut due to the injury.
Orban’s return to training with the Buffalo is a positive development, especially after Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro disclosed that the young striker had been dealing with muscle pain, which prevented him from making his long-awaited national team debut.
The sight of Orban actively participating in training sessions alongside his teammates signals his progress on the road to full fitness.
This comeback raises hopes that he might feature in Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s squad for their upcoming clash against Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Jupiler Pro League.
Jose Peseiro shed light on the situation, emphasizing the importance of Orban’s well-being. He explained, Orban felt pain in the muscles.
He cannot play with an injury because we have to seek permission from the club.
We have a good relationship with the clubs, underlining the collaborative effort between the national team and the player’s club.
With Orban making strides in his recovery and returning to training, KAA Gent is optimistic about his potential inclusion in their squad.
As the team aims to solidify their position at the top of the league standings, having a talent like Orban back in contention is undoubtedly a welcome development.
Football enthusiasts will be eager to see this promising Super Eagles prospect return to action for both club and country as he continues his promising career in the world of football.
