Ozbiliz trains with ball for first time since injury

Armenia national football squad and Spartak Moscow (Russia) midfielder Aras Ozbiliz continues to recover from his injury.

This time the Armenia international trained with the ball for the first time since his two knee surgeries, the Spartak official website reported.

Ozbiliz, 24, entered the pitch with the rest of the club players, but he carried out on an individual training program.

The first month after the surgery was very hard. Now, I’m again training on the pitch and increasing the workload on a daily basis.

I’m working with the ball and I finally feel like I’m a footballer again. The support from the fans certainly helped a lot during the recovery.

I’ll work hard to be fully prepared in the spring part of the [current] season [in the Russian Premier League],” he specifically noted.

Aras Ozbiliz had sustained a serious knee injury during the Armenia national team’s friendly against Algeria on May 31.
