Raphael Onyedika marked his return from injury concerns with a short but solid cameo as Club Brugge secured a 2-0 win over Gent in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday.

The Nigerian midfielder came off the bench to play 17 minutes, helping the team see out the game and maintain their push for the league title in the closing stretch of the season.

Onyedika had recently been a doubt after picking up a minor injury scare, but he was cleared by the club medical team and included in the matchday squad. His appearance is a positive sign for Brugge, who are counting on him in the final run-in.

The Super Eagles star has been an important figure in midfield this season, known for his energy, ball recovery and calmness under pressure. Even in limited minutes, he still managed to show his usual composure as Brugge controlled the final stages of the game.

With the title race entering its decisive phase, his return will be a big boost for the club as they look to finish strong and stay ahead of their rivals.
