Boost for Super Eagles: Onyedika trains with Brugge before Villa

Posted : 03 March 2025

Eric Chelle has received a positive update ahead of his first squad selection as Super Eagles coach, with midfielder Raphael Onyedika returning to training for Club Brugge before their Champions League clash against Aston Villa.


Onyedika was absent from Club Brugge's last Jupiler Pro League fixture after sustaining an injury during a 2-1 defeat to Standard Liege on February 23.


Club Brugge boss Nicky Hayen opted to leave Onyedika out of the squad for their trip to KAA Gent on March 1 to allow for his recovery.


Reports from HLN indicate that the Nigerian international participated in training on Monday morning, increasing his chances of making the matchday squad against Aston Villa.


Onyedika's return comes as good news for Chelle, who sees the defensive midfielder as a key part of his plans for Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe later this month.


Except for the home fixture against Aston Villa, which he missed due to suspension, the former FC Ebedei player has been a regular starter in Club Brugge's Champions League campaign.


However, Onyedika must be cautious, as he is one yellow card away from suspension, having already been booked in games against Sporting CP and Atalanta, which would rule him out of the return leg at Villa Park.
