Leverkusen have soldiered on in his absence, extending their unbeaten streak to 39 games across all competitions.
The Nigerian goal-machine has worked his way back to full fitness in recent weeks and will provide a timely boost for manager Xabi Alonso ahead of crucial fixtures on the domestic front, and in the UEFA Europa League.
