Nigerian midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has fully recovered from an ankle injury and on Friday returned to full training with his club side, SS Lazio.

Onazi was at receiving end of a malicious tackle when Blaise Matuidi lunged his leg into his ankle during Nigeria's 2-0 loss at the World Cup to France which left him with a broken leg.

Although Onazi did not travel with his teammates for a pre-season tour,the former Golden Eaglets player on Friday commenced training and is now expected to gradually regain full fitness

"I feel great to be back to full fitness," Onazi wrote on his Twitter page.

"Thanks for your prayers and good wishes."

With the 2015 Nations Cup qualifiers around the corner,Onazi is a player the Super Eagles would want to have available for the matches.
