Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana returned to training with Rennes on Monday after being sidelined for more than two months with a back injury.
Sulemana has not played since sustaining an injury against PSG in a Ligue 1 match on February 11.
Sulemana’s season appeared to be over, but he has recovered and is expected to play in the final two games for Rennes, who are vying for a Europa League spot.
“Kamaldeen Sulemana will be absent in Nantes [on Wednesday] but I have high hopes that he can apply [in the final game of the season] against Marseille,” coach Bruno Génésio said.
Sulemana’s debut season has been ruined by injury.
He moved to Rennes from the Danish side NordDsjallaend for an undisclosed fee of €20 million.
He hit the ground running right away, scoring a spectacular goal against Lens. Sulemana went on to score three more goals and add two assists, finishing the first round as one of the team’s best players.
However, due to the injury, he has not enjoyed the second round.
Sulemana was a member of the Black Stars squad that was eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations group stage earlier this year.
He did not, however, make the squad that defeated Nigeria to secure World Cup qualification because he was injured.
