Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko has started training with Turkish side Eskisehirspor after recovering from his pre-World Cup injury, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 26-year-old was among the three players who trained separately on Monday under the supervision of the Turkish top-flight team’s physio team.

The Ghanaian international is on his way to regaining full fitness after he suffered a horrible ankle injury which ruled him out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

He was sent home to speed up his rehabilitation but has since returned to Turkey as he inches closer to full fitness.

Akaminko has been left out of the Black Stars squad ahead of 2015 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Uganda and Togo next month.

But he should be fit enough to stage a return to the team ahead of subsequent matches later this year.
