According to the official website of Spartak Moscow, Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike is gradually recovering from the thigh injury he picked up at the African Cup of Nations semi - final clash against Mali.

On Tuesday, the red and white started preparing for the 23rd round of matches in the Russian Premier League, which is an away tie against Isaac Okoronkwo's Rostov.

Emmanuel Emenike had a workout with his teammates and afterwards had an individual session with the fitness coach.

If the attacker's rehabilitation goes according to plan, he could be back on the pitch as early as next weekend against Amkar Perm.

The 25 - year - old Super Eagle has scored 5 goals in 15 appearances in the RPL.
