Nigerian midfielder, Rabiu Ibrahim has finally returned to training at Scottish Premiership club, Kilmarnock.
Ibrahim collapsed during a league game between Kilmarnock and Ross County at Rugby Park on October 19.
He was subsequently taken to the University Hospital Crosshouse but discharged after further tests were carried out.
Fears had been raised that the midfielder may not play competitive football again following an incident involving Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba who similarly went down unchallenged at White Hart Lane 19 months ago.
Such fears have now been effectively dispelled by the player who has confirmed exclusively to supersport.com through his elder brother, Danjuma that he will play some part in Kilmarnock’s next league game against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on November 2.
“Rabiu wants to thank Nigerians for their show of love and support during this difficult period. He resumed training two days ago (October 25) and he is doing very well,” Danjuma told supersport.com.
The reasons surrounding Rabiu’s collapse are still shrouded in mystery but Danjuma eventually lifted the lid on the incidents at Rugby Park October 19.
“He (Rabiu) said the tests carried out at the hospital showed nothing unusual.
“He did not play yesterday (for Kilmarnock against Heart of Midlothian on October 26 at Rugby Park) because the club insisted that he undertakes a period of rest.
“I can however confirm that he will be back in action in Kilmarnock’s next game,” Danjuma added.
The midfielder has been capped by Nigeria at under-17, 20 and 23 levels.
He was called up by the Nigeria national team coach, Stephen Keshi to a warm-up camp in Portugal as the Super Eagles prepared for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
