Villarreal and Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze has returned to training with the Spanish LaLiga club’s first-team squad following a lengthy lay-off through injury.

The Nigeria international has been out of action since May 6 when he was injured in the club’s first leg Europa League game away to Arsenal at the Emirates, a game that ended 0-0, with the Spanish outfit eventually advancing 2-1 on aggregate.

The injury eventually ruled the forward out of the tournament’s final against Manchester United, and the Super Cup loss to Champions League winners Chelsea.

Chukwueze has also been forced to miss the Yellow Submarines’ six opening La Liga matches and the Group F Champions League opening match against Atalanta.

Unai Emery has however been handed a boost ahead of the international break as the 22-year-old was seen returning to training in a video posted on the club’s Twitter handle.

Though, Wednesday game is too early for the Nigerian who has been out for five months has been ruled out of the Champions League game against Manchester United by the coach.

Speaking ahead of the encounter, Emery said Chukwueze would not feature in the game against the Devils today.

“We also have (Francis) Coquelin who is out for suspension, but it is the same as the other day,” Emery said in his pre-match press conference.

“We have different alternatives and we have to trust the options we have.”

“Samu Chukwueze and Dani Raba also remain out for this one, with the former yet to play a single minute of this season, and with Raba missing recent weeks through an injury of his own.”
