Ghana and Olympique Lyonnais forward Ernest Appiah Nuamah has returned to group training following a long injury absence that kept him out for several months.
The 22-year-old suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury last year, a setback that ruled him out of key matches, including Ghana’s World Cup qualifying fixtures.
His recovery journey has now taken a positive turn as he rejoined his Lyon teammates on Tuesday during preparations for their upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Stade Rennais.A video shared on social media captured the moment Nuamah linked up with the squad, with teammates warmly welcoming him back after nearly a year away from full team activities.
The emotional return has been widely celebrated by fans and observers of both club and country football.Although he has resumed full training, Olympique Lyonnais are expected to manage his reintegration carefully to avoid any setbacks. Reports indicate that he will likely start from the bench when Lyon face Rennes on Sunday, May 3.
A message posted by the club on social media reflected the mood within the camp:“La séance du jour marquée par plusieurs retours 👀🔴🔵”Nuamah’s return is also a significant boost for the Ghana national team as preparations intensify ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
The forward has previously proven his value on the international stage, scoring in Ghana’s memorable victory in Bamako during the World Cup qualifiers.With his comeback underway, both club and country will be hoping he regains full fitness quickly to play a key role in the upcoming fixtures and major tournament ahead.
