SUPER Eagles defender, Leon
Balogun has resumed training for Brighton and Hove Albion, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com
reports.
The 30-year-old suffered a
shoulder injury picked in training three weeks ago and, according to manager
Chris Hughton, will miss out on a fourth consecutive match when the Seagulls
host Huddersfield Town in a Premier League clash at the American Express Community
Stadium on Saturday.
The Nigeria international
was last in action on February 6 in his side's 3-1 FA Cup win over West
Bromwich Albion.
Bologun uploaded pictures of
himself in a separate training session on his social media handles on Thursday
with the message, “Still alive smiling as usual 🤙🏽😁.”
Speaking earlier at his
pre-match press conference, Hughton revealed that playmaker Pascal Gross has
joined the Nigeria international on the Seagulls' treatment table.
“Pascal Gross will miss the
game this weekend. He felt his hamstring, the good news is it's not as bad as
we first thought, but the game comes too soon. Balogun is still out but
everybody else is fit and available."
Balogun’s fitness will
however be a major concern ahead of the Super Eagles first two international
matches of 2019 against Seychelles and Egypt.
