Nigerian winger Yira Sor is edging closer to a return to action for Genk as he pushes to be available for their upcoming clash against Charleroi on Friday.
The 24 year old has been sidelined with a muscle injury since early December, missing crucial fixtures for the Belgian Pro League leaders. However, according to Het Belang van Limburg, Sor has made significant progress in his recovery and could be in contention for selection if he passes a late fitness test.

Editorial
Yira Sor’s return to fitness is excellent news for both Genk and Nigerian football fans. His absence over the past few months has been noticeable, as his pace and direct attacking style provide an extra dimension to Genk’s attack. If he can regain full fitness in time for the Charleroi match, his presence could have an immediate impact.
Genk’s position as table topper adds further urgency to Sor’s return. Every game at this stage of the season is critical, and having a key player back in action strengthens their squad depth. With the team competing for the league title, the need for who can change games is higher than ever.
For Sor personally, staying injury-free will be crucial. At 24, he is at a pivotal stage in his career, and consistent performances in Belgium could open doors to bigger opportunities, whether in the Premier League, La Liga, or other top European leagues. He has already shown glimpses of his potential, and now, the challenge is maintaining his fitness to build on his progress.
