Troost-Ekong Targets Injury Return in Seven Weeks

Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has provided an update on his ongoing recovery from injury.

Troost-Ekong had surgery for a thigh injury back in February, which he sustained during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

“I have had my first session on grass with the ball and I am just a matter of days to rejoining the group,” the PAOK Salonica of Greece defender disclosed in an interview with Eagle7fm

“It was first feared I will be out for three, four months, but it is now just seven weeks after surgery.”

The 30-year-old could now return in time to help PAOK’s quest to win the Greek League title.

PAOK are two points behind leaders AEK Athens on table.
