Schalke 04 striker Chinedu Obasi has not featured for the Bundesliga club for the past six months after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged fibula.

There is good news for club and country, with reports in the German press revealing that the Nigeria international could return to the pitch in the next two - three weeks as he has started training with the first team.

“I’m incredibly happy! Finally, again began to get pleasure from football. If all goes according to plan, I can go on the field in two or three weeks,” Chinedu Obasi told Sky Sports.

It was previously reported that the 27 - year - old had been carrying a 30 centimeter long titanium nail in the left shin, which was broken at the 2010 World Cup.

Obasi, ex Hoffenheim and Lyn Oslo star, has recorded 1 goal in 14 Bundesliga matches for Schalke 04.
