Paul Onuachu missed Trabzonspor’s 1-1 draw against Alanyaspor last weekend after picking up a thigh problem during the team’s final training session before the match.

Nigerian forward reportedly felt discomfort in his left thigh muscle, prompting the club to withdraw him as a precaution.

Medical scans conducted afterwards revealed no serious injury concerns, according to Turkish sports outlet Fanatik, easing fears over a long-term setback.

Paul Onuachu is now expected to be available for selection when Trabzonspor face Istanbul Başakşehir on Saturday, a timely boost for the Black Sea club.

The striker has been in outstanding form this season, currently leading the Turkish Super Lig scoring chart with 22 goals, underlining his importance to the team’s attacking threat.
