Eagles midfielder Sani Kaita will next week begin his rehabilitation in Barcelona, Spain, after a recent knee surgery ended his season.
This will be a perfect birthday gift for the ball-winning midfielder, who turned 25 on Wednesday.The former Kano Pillars star was operated on in Barcelona, Spain, a month ago and he told MTNFootball.com he is now looking forward to starting his long road to recovery in the coming week.
“I had a very successful operation in Spain a month ago. It was done by one of the top specialists in the world who also works with players from Barcelona,” Kaita told MTNFootball.com from Spain.
“The doctors said I should be back after three months and already it has been a month since the surgery.
“The POP on my knee has been removed and next week I will move into the gym to begin my rehabilitation.”
Kaita also insisted that he was fit to play leading to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Rwanda.
“I trained twice in Abuja and once in Rwanda very well and all on synthetic pitch. If I were injured as some people are now insinuating, there was no way I could have trained the way I did then,” he said.
He said he has been overwhelmed by the warmth and support he has received from his Ukrainian club Tavriya.
“They have supported me 100% during my injury problem and really made my day on Wednesday when the players and the coach called to wish me a happy birthday,” he revealed.
