Nigerian striker, Paul Onuachu, will resume training on Friday after recovering from the coronavirus, Genk manager, Hannes Wolf has said.

Recall that the Nigerian international had previously been in isolation after he tested positive for COVID-19.

Speaking on the development, Wolf told Het Nieuwsblad, “On Friday, he will just train with the group.

“Paul can also compete against Excelsior on Friday in the exhibition match.”

The 26-year-old who missed his side’s friendly win against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise on Wednesday will be available for their next friendly fixture against Excelsior after his second COVID-19 test returned negative.

Onuachu scored ten goals and provided two assists in 29 appearances in all competitions in his first season at Genk.
