The Harambee Stars defender was forced to miss Reims' clash against high-flying PSG last week.
Stade Reims have provided a positive update on Joseph Okumu’s fitness after the Harambee Stars defender was forced to miss their 1-1 draw against high-flying Paris Saint-Germain last week.
According to French publication L’Équipe, Okumu is set to return for Reims' Ligue 1 fixture against Nantes on Sunday (5:15 p.m.), having recovered from his injury.
However, the Champagne club will be without midfielder Teddy Teuma, who is nursing a calf injury, and striker Oumar Diakité, who is serving a suspension.
Reims' coaching staff confirmed, "the return of Joseph Okumu," marking a significant boost for the team.
The Kenyan international had been sidelined after sustaining an injury during the final training session ahead of their crucial clash with PSG. His absence was felt as Reims had to navigate the fixture without their defensive stalwart.
The 27-year-old has struggled with persistent adductor issues, restricting him to just 10 league appearances this season.
