Sporting Kansas Defender Ike Opara On The Road To Full Recovery

Ike Opara has resumed training with Sporting Kansas and there is a slight hope that the defender could return to action before the end of the 2015 season.

Since rupturing his Achilles tendon in March, the former USA youth international has not played a single game in the American top flight, as he continues his rehabilitation from the injury.

“It’s always tough, but I’ve been through it,” Opara told reporters, according to mlssoccer.com.

“So I just take it day by day. It’s so cliché, but there’s times I’ve been injured, and I didn’t take it day by day, and the frustration was near levels of I wanted to go out there and kill somebody, I felt like.

“But every day I find a new challenge, a new goal to accomplish, and good things have happened ever since.”

Ike Opara was on target twice in the MLS before his spell on the sidelines.
