Ghana international Ernest Nuamah made a sensational return to the pitch after climbing off the bench on Sunday in Olympique Lyonnais Ligue 1 clash against Stade Rennais.
The 22-year old suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in his left knee during a league game against Lille. Just seven minutes into game, he sustained injury and was forced off the pitch immediately.
The injury sidelined Nuamah for over a year, with his return to the squad happening on Sunday.
Ernest returned to the first team after 391 days, featuring against Rennes since the setback. He inspired Lyon to a deserving 4-2 victory over Stade Rennais.
Among the most emotional was his close friend, Brazilian wonderkid Endrick, who couldn’t hide his excitement seeing the Ghanaian winger back after such a difficult year.
