Essien training was focused on power rather than speed as the Ghanaian player can’t handle the quick reaction of the entire team.

“He has already made a program in London and has come here and I have coordinated with the doctor to see his progress because normally injuries are difficult for fast movement or quick reaction, so we want to see first," Benidiktus told reporters after the exercise.

“If the condition is okay, he can join the team,” he added.

Michael Essien has been linked with a transfer move from the Indonesian league to the Major League Soccer with D.C United reported interested.
