Ghana and KRC Genk winger Joseph Paintsil has begun training with the rest of his teammates after sustaining an injury prior to the International break.

Joseph Paintsil suffered a hamstring injury in his side's 2-1 win over Union  Saint Gilloise(USG).

He is expected to play a part for his side when they face Oud-Hervelee Leuven on Saturday in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League.

The winger was not invited by Black Stars coach Otto Addo for the two friendly matches against Brazil and Nicaragua last month.

Joseph Paintsil continued to work intensively on his return from a hamstring injury during the International break and is now in contention this weekend.

His return is a timely boost for his side who aim to unseat Royal Antwerp from the summit  of the league title.

Painstil has now scored four goals while providing two assists for his side in eight matches in the Belgium Jupiler League.

He is expected to make Ghana's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar despite missing the friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua.
