- Zambo has resumed group training at Napoli
- The midfielder could be back in competition this weekend.
Cameroon’s Andre Frank Zambo Anguissa is edging close to resumption of duty for Italian Serie A side SSC Napoli.
The midfielder who picked up a muscle problem three weeks ago, in a Europa League fixture against Barcelona has fully-engaged in the walk towards his return to the competitive football.
Raffaele Canonico, Napoli’s doctor has been working to ensure Zambo returns quickly and now signs are he will return this weekend.
Zambo has been a pivotal figure in the Napoli side since arriving the club on loan from English championship side Fulham FC.
Being one of the first picks in Luciano Spalletti’s team, Zambo has featured in 21 games in all competitions, mostly as a starter.
The 26-year old has been missed through this period as reflected by Napoli’s return game against Barcelona last week.
Zambo could be back by March 6, against AC Milan in a top of the table clash in the Serie A.
The former Marseille midfield oscillator has missed Napoli’s Europa League game against Barcelona, plus League games against Cagliary and Lazio last Sunday.
Zambo came through the Academy of AS Fortuna of Mfou, before moving to Cotonsport of Garoua- Cameroon in 2013 through which he went abroad.
The player moved abroad in 2015, joining Stade Reims of France after spending two years at Cotonsport.
He has gone on to represent French side Marseille, Fulham, plus La Liga’s Villarreal CF and these days he is at Napoli, on loan from English championship side, Fulham FC.
His possible return is good news for the Cameroon national team staff, as the lead trainer Rigobert Song is certainly counting on him to secure qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
At international level, 26-year old Zambo has won 41 caps and scored five goals for Cameroon since his debut against Tunisia in a friendly in March 2017 under coach Hugo Broos.
