Shakhtar Donetsk: 4 goals in 3 matches, Lassina Traoré is already making waves after his injury comeback

شاختار دونيتسك: 4 أهداف في 3 مباريات، لاسينا تراوري يشعل الأرقام من جديد بعد عودته من الإصابة

Back from injury, Lassina Traoré wasted no time in rediscovering his striker's instinct. The Shakhtar Donetsk forward has been stringing together standout performances, carrying his team for several matches now. This weekend was no exception, as the Burkina Faso international proved decisive once again, netting the only goal in a victory over FC Oleksandria and helping his side solidify their lead at the top of the Ukrainian Premier League.

After a long spell on the sidelines due to injury, Lassina Traoré now seems to be back to his best. In just three league games, the striker has already racked up four goals, including a memorable hat-trick just a week ago.

Against FC Karpaty Lviv, he left a lasting impression. Coming off the bench in the 65th minute, the Burkinabè needed only 17 minutes to score a hat-trick and secure a convincing 3-0 win for his team. That performance remains one of the standout moments of the Ukrainian league season so far.

The man behind Shakhtar's victories

On the road at Oleksandria, Traoré once again showed his worth. His goal—the only one of the match—earned Shakhtar Donetsk another three invaluable points in the title race. Thanks to his recent exploits, the Burkinabè striker has single-handedly brought his team six points in the league.

Momentum sparked by the AFCON

Before rejoining his club, Traoré had already shown promising signs in the shirt of the Burkina Faso national football team at the Africa Cup of Nations, where he scored on his return to international duty.

Since then, the centre-forward has kept up the momentum with Shakhtar Donetsk. Four goals in three matches, a headline-grabbing comeback, and a return to clinical form: Lassina Traoré is truly back—and he's already lighting up the scoreboard.
