For a week and a half, the Nigerian striker has been back training with the team and feels ready for the home game against RB Salzburg. The great atmosphere in the Generali-Arena, which Bright Edomwonyi was able to fully enjoy after his double pack against Admira, further motivates the striker: "I want to score goals - that's my main focus. It's a good feeling to know that the fans are with you," said the 24-year-old, who is called ‘Edi’ by his teammates. The fact that his comeback could be against Salzburg is positive for the Nigerian, mostly because he celebrated his debut for Austria Wien against the league leaders in the third round: "Top games, likes this one, are always something special. I am fully focused and highly motivated."
Six weeks between his last game against LASK and his first training with the team, in which Edomwonyi initially went easy on his back and then began rehab together with physical therapist Christoph Lichtenecker. "It was a hard time for me. I always want to play, but I was in pain and therefore couldn’t. Now I am back and happy to be able to help the team." The 24-year-old striker has had already two injuries during his career. In 2016/17, a hamstring fracture stopped him for a few weeks and in the 14/15 season he had a broken metatarsal which wouldn’t let him play for about two months. This time, the attacker was out of action for six weeks, as predicted by the medical team of Austria Wien. His first back injury also caused him mental problems:
"It's a bit difficult with the back - you don’t know exactly when the pain is gone, it's not that easy to work with this kind of injury mentally, it's easier with a hamstring. Now I am well again, that’s what’s important. "The individual work with the rehab team, first in the weight room in the Generali-Arena and then at the training ground, he used to get physically even stronger: "The physical therapists did a great job and were always there for me - for that I would like to say thank you. We worked a lot during the past weeks, I had more time for weight training than usual, that was very important to me," says ‘Edi’.
