Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen has declared Raphael Onyedika fit for their crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Aston Villa later today (Tuesday, March 4).

The 23-year-old has been on the sidelines since sustaining an injury in Club Brugge's defeat to Standard Liège last month.

The Super Eagles midfielder missed Club Brugge's last game against KAA Gent in the Belgian Jupiler League last Saturday.

Hayen has confirmed that the defensive midfielder trained on Monday and will be available for the clash against Unai Emery's side.

“He trained on Monday. In principle, he can play,” Hayen told a press conference ahead of the game.

Onyedika has scored once in the UCL this season, with his only goal coming in his side's 3-1 defeat at Etihad Stadium to Manchester City.
