Striker Mahatma Otoo is delighted with his return to action for Sogndal after a three-week injury lay-off.

The 23-year-old came on as a second-half replacement for Jim Johansen to help the side to a 2-1 win over Honefoss in the Norwegian second-tier match played on Sunday.

Otoo has been out with a thigh strain for the past three-weeks – an injury which forced him out of Ghana’s squad for the friendly matches against Senegal and Mali.

The former Hearts of Oak captain is now delighted to have staged a return after his frustrating spell on the sidelines.

“I was very happy to be back on the pitch after a while out,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

"Everyone, the technical team, the fans and the players were also happy with my return. They say I changed the game when I came on.

“I felt very good to be back playing again.”

The win sees Sogndal rise to third after three rounds of games on the Norwegian top flight.
