Super Eagles Defender Benjamin Fredrick Back in Grass Training
Super Eagles youngster Benjamin Fredrick has returned to on-field work after a long-term knee injury. The centre-back, currently on loan at Belgian side F.C.V. Dender EH from Brentford FC, was sidelined in November 2025 following a training injury. He missed the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria finished third. He is now in a controlled training environment, building strength around the knee. Reports on social media suggest his recovery phase will last about a month. With the domestic season wrapping up, Fredrick is on track to be fully fit for next term. He is also in contention for Nigeria’s squad in the AFCON 2027 qualifiers.
