Onuachu Returns to Training for Trabzonspor's Key Clash

Paul Onuachu, the Nigerian striker and top scorer in the Turkish Süper Lig, has returned to training with Trabzonspor as they prepare for their match against Istanbul Başakşehir on Sunday. Onuachu had been sidelined due to a muscle problem, which forced him to miss Trabzonspor's last game, a 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor.

This draw impacted their chances of mounting pressure on league leaders Galatasaray, with a four-point gap separating the teams. Trabzonspor's head coach, Fatih Tekke, is relying on the medical team to ensure that the experienced forward is fit for the upcoming showdown.

Onuachu's swift return to training on Thursday is a significant boost for the team, especially as they aim to maintain pressure in the final five matches of the season. Additionally, Trabzonspor has a crucial Turkish Cup quarter-final tie against Samsunspor scheduled for next Thursday.

The 31-year-old striker has had a prolific campaign, scoring 24 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions, contributing to 40% of Trabzonspor's total league goals.
