Fit-again Nurudeen returns to Hearts of Oak training, injured Sowah still out

Hearts of Oak midfielder Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen has made a comeback to training after recovering from a thigh injury, according to an official update released by the Rainbow club on Friday.

Once he is passed fit by the medical team, the 23-year-old should be available for selection into the Coach Samuel Boadu’s squad for the Ghana Premier League match-day 27 fixture against Dreams FC in Accra on Sunday.

The former Vision FC player was ruled out for weeks due to the thigh injury, which forced him to miss one MTN FA Cup assignment against Skyy FC and two GPL games against Elmina Sharks and Accra Lions.

Prior to the injury, Nurudeen’s last game for Hearts of Oak was against Asante Kotoko in Kumasi on April 10, where he emerged as the subject of controversy in the penalty decision awarded by Referee Kenny Padi for supposedly bringing down Fabio Gama.

The former Black Meteors midfielder has made 10 GPL appearances for Hearts of Oak this season.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak defender Robert Sowah is yet to resume training after picking up an ankle injury in the GPL game against Kotoko in Kumasi.
