Norwich City star back in partial team training but Clement urges caution

Norwich City boss Philippe Clement has revealed Jovon Makama has returned to elements of team training as he continues his recovery from an absence of almost six months.

The Canaries forward has taken part in the last two collective training sessions, having previously worked individually, but Clement stressed Makama will need time to gradually build up his fitness before he is ready to make a full return.

“He started individually in the week before also, and he was in the last two training sessions with the collective training,” Clement said.

“But it doesn’t mean that people should expect to see him directly now in the team. He’s been almost six months out, so we need to gradually increase his load.

“He’s been two days now with the team on the pitch, playing games, scoring goals, going into duels with the others and enjoying that, so happy to see him back. But he’s not fully back.”
