German-Ghanaian striker Ragnar Ache has made his return to full training with FC Köln, showing the determination that has defined his career.

The 27-year-old striker, who only joined the club this summer on a contract running until 2029, is already winning admiration for his resilience.

Ragnar Ache suffered a deep cut above his right knee during Köln's Bundesliga opener against Mainz, a game his side lost 2-1.

The injury forced him out of group sessions and into an individual program designed by the club's medical team.
