OKE AKPOVETA Happy With Comeback

Nine months after he got injured in a reserve team fixture against FC Copenhagen, promising Nigerian youngster and Br&oslash;ndby forward Oke Akpoveta made his comeback for <i>Drengene Fra Vestegnen</i> in the exhibition match with SC Preu&szlig;en M&uuml;nster at their training camp in Germany.<br /><br />Akpoveta, only 20 years, was introduced by Coach Aurelijus Skarbalius in the second half of the encounter, which Br&oslash;ndby narrowly won 1-0 against the German 3 Liga outfit.<br /><br />''I was very happy after the game, it's good to be back after such a long time on the sidelines. I played for 20 minutes on Tuesday. Everything is good, I felt no pain. I made the corner kick that resulted in the goal scored by Daniel Stenderup.<br /><br />''All my teammates were happy to see me play again. I am just looking forward to the start of the season,'' says Akpoveta to allnigeriasoccer.com.<br /><br />Before the injury set-back last season, the ex Warri Wolves ace had been tipped for great things at Brondby following his performances at the <span class="st"><em>Avatar Cup. </em></span><br /><br />Most players struggle to get back to their previous form after a long spell on the sidelines. Akpoveta hopes to continue flourishing in the coming season.<br /><br />''Yes, I can get&nbsp; back to my&nbsp; best, though it won't be easy. I have to continue training hard, and keep the spirit going,'' Akpoveta added.<br /><br />Br&oslash;ndby's next test game is on Friday against SV Bad Rothenfelde. The squad returns to Denmark on Saturday, June 30.<br /><br />''<br /><br /><br /><br />
