Yakubu Akilu is targeting a return to first team action when the Danish first division resumes from winter break in late March. The central midfielder has not played for Fredericia in the 2012- 2013 campaign due to injury. <br /><br />''I have been injured for the past eight months, but I am getting better now. Was going to play the ball, then, I twisted my leg. I started rehabilitation a&nbsp; month ago, training with the physios, balance training, and I have started running. By God's grace, sometime in January, I will return to full training,'' says Akilu to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com.</b><br /><br />The 23 - year - old has thanked the Fredericia hierarchy for the love they showed him when he was convalescing. <br /><br />''The club took very good care of me, paid for the surgery I had at a private hospital in Vejle. Despite not playing, I was paid my full wages. So I am very grateful to them for their concern,'' Akilu added.<br /><br />Fredericia signed Pierre Kanstrup from Br&oslash;nsh&oslash;j as replacement for Yakubu Akilu in the summer transfer market. <br /><br />The former FC Ebedei talent is under contract with the Jutland based club until 2014. Before Akilu's injury setback, he was on the wishlist of teams in Russia and Germany.<br /><br /><br />
