Heartland FC midfielder Elvis Ori has defied the odds to return to the pitch earlier than expected after undergoing surgery for a cheekbone injury.
The injury occurred during a heated NPFL clash against Bendel Insurance on December 15, when Ori collided with Uche Collins.
The talented midfielder underwent a successful surgery on December 19, with doctors initially estimating a six-week recovery period.
However, Ori has demonstrated remarkable resilience and has resumed personal recovery training less than ten days before his projected return date.
Heartland FC fans are thrilled by the early progress of their star player, who is now expected to rejoin the squad for their crucial last match in January. His swift recovery and dedication to regaining full fitness have been praised by teammates and coaches alike.
Ori’s return could prove pivotal as Heartland FC looks to strengthen their position in the league, and his presence on the field will undoubtedly boost team morale.
