Jonathan Kodjia revealed that went through a very ‘difficult period’ after a serious ankle injury forced him out for several months, but is able to ‘find joy in playing again’.
Kodjia who contributed to Cote d'Ivoire's win over Rwanda in their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, is now looking to making up for lost time at club and national levels.
The striker endured a torrid 2017-18 campaign with his ankle - a relapse of the ankle break he suffered in April 2017, against Blackburn Rovers - and returned with a paltry lone goal in 18 English Championship appearances.
