Ekong listed for PAOK pre-season tour
Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong is in PAOK pre-season team in Netherlands as preparation for next season takes new shape, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
PAOK’s Romanian football tactician Razvan Lucescu announced his squad list for the pre-season training camp which will hold in the Netherlands over the weekend with Ekong included, this debunking any news of injury concerns for the AFCON 2023 silver medal winning captain.
Troost-Ekong’s most recent competitive appearance for both club and country dates back to February 11, 2024, in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final against Ivory Coast.
He played through the pain barrier during the tournament in Ivory Coast and required surgery after returning to Europe following the Africa Cup of Nations, where he was named as Player of the Tournament.
