Ghana youth defender Emmanuel Ntim returned from suspension to excel for Valenciennes in their 1-1 stalemate at Ajaccio on Friday.

The 20-year-old former Right to Dream Academy graduate was restored to the Valenciennes starting eleven by Bosnian trainer Faruk Hadzibegic, and he held the fort in defence helping Valenciennes to nick a point from the game.

Ntim, who played for Ghana at the 2015 FIFA U20 World Cup in New Zealand, was sent off during Valenciennes's 2-0 defeat at Nimes in the first week of April.

The young right-back has featured in 12 games for Valenciennes this season.
