Paul Onuachu: Super Eagles star set for early return

Paul Onuachu is closing in on a swift return to action after an injury scare, handing a major boost to Trabzonspor ahead of their crucial league clash.

The Nigerian striker’s comeback could not come at a better time for his side, as they aim for an unlikely Super Lig title.

Onuachu missed Trabzonspor’s recent outing against Alanyaspor after picking up a muscle issue in training, raising concerns among fans and coaching staff.

However, scans have delivered reassuring news, with no serious damage detected. The striker has since undergone treatment for dehydration and is now in stable condition, clearing the path for a quick recovery.

Manager Fatih Tekke has been handed a triple boost, with Onuachu, Arbnor Muçi, and Arseniy Batagov all expected to resume full training.

The Super Eagles forward is set to rejoin the squad in time to prepare for the weekend fixture against İstanbul Başakşehir.

Onuachu’s return is particularly significant given his outstanding form this season. Despite missing multiple matches due to injury, suspension, and international duty, he remains the top scorer in the Turkish Süper Lig with 22 goals—four ahead of closest rival Eldor Shomurodov.

Trabzonspor have struggled in his absence, managing just five points from their last four matches, underlining his importance to the team’s attacking output.

With the title race heating up and crucial fixtures ahead, Onuachu’s expected return against İstanbul Başakşehir could provide the spark Trabzonspor need to regain momentum and maintain their push at the top of the table.
