Trabzonspor have received a significant lift in their Turkish Super Lig title pursuit, with Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu set to resume full training on Thursday after recovering from a minor injury.
The forward’s expected return comes at a crucial stage of the season, with just six matches remaining and Trabzonspor trailing league leaders Galatasaray by four points. His availability could prove decisive as the Black Sea Storm attempt to keep their championship hopes alive.
Onuachu missed his side’s 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor last weekend, a result that dealt a blow to their title challenge. The striker had suffered a thigh injury on the eve of the match, prompting concern among supporters and coaching staff about his fitness during a critical period.
However, subsequent medical assessments have eased those fears. MRI scans revealed no serious damage, and his condition has improved steadily in the days since. Reports indicate that Onuachu also underwent intravenous treatment for dehydration, with his overall health now described as stable.
His imminent return to training is expected to strengthen Trabzonspor’s attacking options at a time when consistency and firepower are essential. The club have relied heavily on the Nigerian international’s goals this season, and his absence was keenly felt in their most recent outing.
Onuachu has been a standout performer in the Turkish top flight this campaign, currently leading the league’s scoring chart with 22 goals. His prolific form has played a central role in keeping Trabzonspor within touching distance of the summit.
With the title race entering its final stretch, attention now turns to how quickly the striker can regain full match fitness. Trabzonspor will be hoping he can return to peak condition without delay, as they seek to close the gap on Galatasaray in the closing weeks of the season.
The team’s ability to maintain pressure on the leaders may depend largely on their top scorer’s contributions, particularly given the narrow margin separating the two sides.
As the campaign approaches its conclusion, Onuachu’s recovery offers renewed optimism for Trabzonspor. His presence could provide the cutting edge required to turn draws into victories and sustain their push for the title.
