Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>AS KIGALI hope to have midfielder Rashid Kalisa back in action in the coming days after joining the first team training on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Kalisa, 25, has not made a single league appearance for the Citizens this season after a knee surgery forced him on the sidelines for nearly four months, since last October.<\/p>\n

“It feels good to be back,\u201d Kalisa told this publication on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a long time, but every day I worked hard with the physio and doctors. I knew with this injury we had to wait and work, but three months on, I am strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

The quick fleet midfielder finds his side in third position with 24 points after 14 matches into the 2021\/22 league season. They trail leaders SC Kiyovu by five points.<\/p>\n

He joined AS Kigali in August 2019 from rivals Kiyovu, and was part of the national team that reached the quarter-finals of the 2020 African Nations Championship (CHAN) finals in Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Kalisa rose to prominence in 2015 while he played for Police FC, and cemented his profile the following year when Rwanda hosted the 2016 CHAN finals.<\/p>\n
