Austrian-born midfielder of Nigerian descent, Carney Chukwuemeka, is close to making a return to action.
The Chelsea player on loan at Borussia Dortmund resumed training with his teammates on Wednesday and is now in line to feature in the upcoming Bundesliga clash against FC Augsburg next weekend.
So far, he has sustained three minor injuries, which include two knee problems and a thigh issue.
After resuming training on Wednesday, he will be assessed in the coming days to ascertain his fitness level before the game against Augsburg.
Due to his numerous injuries, information gathered from sources in Germany indicates that there are discussions among Dortmund officials over Carney Chukwuemeka’s potential permanent signing.
Concerns have been raised, with some advising against the permanent signing of the midfielder due to the injuries.
The player who has only played 40 minutes would cost Dortmund 35 million euros should the club still decide to sign him permanently.
He has a lot of potential but needs to stay fit to play regularly to continue his development.
