Kyriakos Papadopoulos returns to Schalke 04 training

Schalke 04 centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos has returned to training for the Bundesliga side after nearly a year out through injury.

Papadopoulos suffered a knee ligament tear last November and had recently been training with a personalised programme.

However, he has now been deemed fit enough to return to full training with his teammates and took part in a session on Wednesday.

There is as yet no date set for Papadopoulos's return to competitive action.
