Mahatma returns with first goal

Sogndal arrowhead, Mahatma Otoo, returned to action after a two- week break to grab an important goal for his side last Saturday in their FA Cup game.

Otoo, who scored the second goal in their 5-1 mauling of Lysekloster, played his first full game for the Norwegian side.

The former Accra Hearts of Oak skipper, was ruled out for two weeks after he tore a muscle during a training session with his club.

He missed a call-up by Coach Avram Grant to participate in the Black Stars’ friendlies against Senegal and Mali respectively in France early this month.

The 22-year-old was put under medical care with light gym activities until the affected muscle was healed to enable him return to full fitness.

He told the Graphic Sports he was happy to be back to action and was hopeful he would continue to play a crucial role in his club this season.

The player, who was among the leading scorers in the Norwegian top flight league last season, said he had targeted the goal king this season and barring any injuries he was confident he would grab the ultimate by the end of the season.
