Ex-Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has revealed that he is nearing full fitness after a long injury-enforced lay-off.
Enyeama, 35, received a knock while in action for Lille in April and hasn’t featured for the French side since then.
A surgery on his injured knee followed suit in May and after that, it’s been intensive rehabilitation for the ex-Enyimba goalie.
Enyeama took to Twitter on Tuesday to give the latest update from the treatment room.

It remains to be seen whether Enyeama will be welcomed back into Lille first team by Coach Marcelo Bielsa.
The Argentine tactician on arriving in the summer deemed the Nigerian and several other senior players surplus to requirements.
While most of the lads have since moved on in search of greener pastures, Enyeama remained at the club to gain full fitness.
Back home, the ex-Super Eagles skipper is still heralded as the one of the finest of his generation.
With 101 caps, he remains his country’s most-capped player in history.
Enyeama represented Nigeria at three FIFA World Cup finals and was part of the triumphant team that clinched the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013.
