OSAZE ODEMWINGIE RESUMES TRAINING AFTER SIX MONTHS OF INJURY

Nigerian striker, Osaze Odemwingie was sidelined since last August following a serious knee ligament injury during Stoke City's 1-0 win over Premier League champions, Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Osaze has relieved his six month injury period to Stoke City website as he resumed training with Stoke City squad on Thursday.
Osaze said,
"It has been tough but the medical staff have been brilliant and helped me enormously"
"Its been just six months now but these injuries can be nine months, so I'm really happy that I'm back to training"
"Hearing fans sing my song and looking forward to seeing me playing again is brilliant; that feeling that somebody is waiting for you is fantastic"
"A few months ago, I could'nt walk properly, I struggled to get my knee fully extended.
"Not being able to walk slowly in the park with your family and kids to playing with top professionals is a big jump for me and I'm really looking forward to it. That's what I've done for the past 12 years of my life, I got used to it and it was hard to adjust"
"But I've got two little kids at home and I'm at a place where I've really been looked after well and people want to see to me so those things made the journey back to full fitness a bit easier".
