Joseph-Claude Gyau made his long awaited return from injury in a Regionalliga West (fourth division) match for Borussia Dortmund's reserve side. The 24-year old winger entered in stoppage time, as third place Dortmund earned a 1-0 win over Alemannia Aachen.
Gyau commemorated the appearance on his personal Instagram page:
Gyau spoke to Paul Tenorio and Four Four Two in September:
Gyau said he was also encouraged by the support of Dortmund, which extended his contract despite the injury, as well as U.S. national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who checked up on Gyau regularly both by phone and via sending people to see Gyau personally.
