Former Super Eagles Striker Obefemi Martins Set For Shanghai Shenhua Return

Shanghai Shenhua striker Obafemi Martins is expected to make full recovery in the coming weeks and stage a comeback for his Chinese Super League side. The former Newcastle United striker was sent to United States of America where he recently had a successful treatment on his troubled thigh muscles.

Martins was injured during intermittent team training, after the players were told to embark on a sprint, in the process he had hurt the thigh muscles. According to the MRI report, the doctor was expected to wait for at least two weeks to finally ascertain his full fitness.

In order to allow Obafemi to recover as soon as possible, the team arranged for his treatment in the United States. Martins left Shanghai in the last weekend, and he is expected back in Shanghai this week for the next stage of rehabilitation.
