Onyekuru Nears Anderlecht Comeback with Stellar Reserve Team Performance
Nigeria’s prolific forward, Henry Onyekuru, is poised for a triumphant return to Anderlecht’s first-team action after showcasing his mettle in a resilient display for the reserves. On Monday night, the dynamic striker, who endured a three-month hiatus due to a knee injury sustained last December, exhibited remarkable prowess as he spearheaded Anderlecht Reserves to a commendable 2-2 draw against Standard Liege.
This marked Onyekuru’s second consecutive appearance for the reserves, following his impactful 30-minute stint in the previous week’s 4-1 victory over Lokeren, a triumph that secured the Reserve League title for Anderlecht.
Having returned to training last month, Onyekuru’s resurgence augurs well for Anderlecht as they gear up for a crucial league clash against Club Brugge this Sunday. The Nigerian forward, who boasts an impressive record of nine goals in 19 appearances for Anderlecht in the Jupiler Pro League before his injury setback, is determined to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.
On loan from the English Premier League side Everton, Onyekuru’s journey to recovery has been closely monitored by fans and football enthusiasts alike. His imminent return to top-flight action adds a layer of anticipation to Anderlecht’s upcoming fixtures, with supporters hopeful that his goal-scoring prowess will once again grace the Jupiler Pro League.
