Injured Super Eagles and Celtic forward Kelechi Iheanacho has returned to training after spending almost a month on the sidelines, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian international has been out of action since December 2025 due to injury, but Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has now confirmed that the forward is back on the training pitch.

Speaking at a press conference, O’Neill expressed his delight at Iheanacho’s progress and availability.

"He trained today, yes, I think that might be his second day,” O’Neill said.

“He didn’t travel with us, but he’s been doing some training. And he did fine today, I’m glad to see him back, that helps us if that’s the case.

“It might be a bit of a stretch to start him in a game at the moment, but at least he’s going to be available.”

 Iheanacho’s return will come as a boost to both Celtic and the Super Eagles as he continues his recovery and works towards full match fitness ahead of the coming fixtures.
