A familiar and welcome sight has returned to the training ground at Celtic. Kelechi Iheanacho, the Nigerian forward, was pictured reintegrated with the first-team squad on Wednesday, a significant step in his comeback from a frustrating hamstring injury.

The striker's last appearance was cut cruelly short on October 23rd, when he was forced off in the opening moments of a Europa League victory over Sturm Graz. That setback has sidelined him for six consecutive matches, a stretch that included the high-pressure League Cup semifinal against rivals Rangers.

Now, as the Scottish champions prepare for a crucial European fixture against Feyenoord in Rotterdam, a glimmer of hope emerges. The club's social media channels officially captured Iheanacho back in full training, yet a key question remains unanswered. Interim manager Martin O'Neill has been cautious, withholding confirmation on whether the Super Eagles star will make the trip to the Netherlands.

Before his untimely injury, Iheanacho had been finding his rhythm, amassing four goal contributions in his first eight appearances for the Hoops. His absence has also been felt on the international stage, having last featured for Nigeria in the Unity Cup. Just as he seemed poised for a return to the World Cup qualifying campaign, his progress was halted.
