Boost for Super Eagles and Brentford as Benjamin Fredrick returns to training
Premier League side Brentford and the Super Eagles have received a timely boost with Nigerian defender Benjamin Fredrick returning to training after nearly nine months on the sidelines due to a knee injury.
The highly rated centre back has resumed work on the training pitch, marking a major step in his recovery after the injury halted his progress during Nigeria's FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign against DR Congo.
Photos shared on social media over the weekend showed the 20 year old participating in training, raising hopes that he is closing in on a competitive return. Although Brentford are yet to provide an official update on his fitness, his return to training indicates that rehabilitation has progressed successfully.
Fredrick, regarded as one of Nigeria's brightest young defensive prospects, has impressed with his pace, aerial strength and composure at the back. His development was temporarily interrupted by the long term injury, but his comeback offers renewed optimism for both club and country.
The defender will now focus on regaining full match fitness as he targets a return to competitive action ahead of the new season.
His recovery comes as welcome news for Brentford and Nigeria, with both set to benefit from the return of a promising defender eager to make up for lost time after an extended spell away from the game.
