Nathan Tella Returns to Training Ahead of Bundesliga Clash Against Frankfurt

Nigerian winger Nathan Tella has returned to training with Bayer Leverkusen as he nears a comeback from a hip injury ahead of their Bundesliga fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

The 25-year-old picked up the injury two weeks ago in Leverkusen’s clash with Bayern Munich, which ruled him out of last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel. According to reports from BILD, Tella has now resumed training with his teammates, although he worked individually towards the end of the session to avoid a relapse.

Will He Feature Against Frankfurt?

While his return to training is a positive sign, it remains unclear whether Xabi Alonso will risk including him in the squad for the crucial Frankfurt clash. With Leverkusen aiming to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga, having Tella back in action could be a huge boost.

Opinion: Can Tella Make a Bigger Impact?

Despite featuring 30 times across all competitions this season, Tella has registered just three goals and three assists—a tally that doesn’t quite reflect his potential. As Leverkusen chase domestic and European success, the Nigerian international must step up his performances to secure a more consistent role in Alonso’s starting XI.

With the season entering a crucial stage, can Tella prove his worth and help Leverkusen maintain their winning momentum? Let’s discuss! ⚽🔥
