Super Eagles’ Benjamin Fredrick returns after nine-month injury layoff

Nigerian international defender Benjamin Fredrick has returned to competitive action after a nine-month injury absence. He played for Brentford Under-21 in their 5-1 victory over Sunderland. Fredrick sustained a meniscus injury last November, which required surgery. His return is seen as a boost for both Brentford and the Nigerian national team as he aims to regain full fitness and integrate into the first team.
