Youssoufa Moukoko made his return to training on Tuesday after a four month injury layoff. New Borussia Dortmund signing Abdoulaye Kamara also took part in the session. 

Borussia Dortmund continued their preparations for the new season on Tuesday as Marco Rose put his players through their paces. According to Ruhr Nachrichten, the Black and Yellows welcomed Youssoufa Moukoko back to team training, almost four months after he suffered a foot ligament injury while on international duty with the Germany U-21s.

Moukoko’s return is certainly a welcome one for Borussia Dortmund, who are still training without a number of first-team players. Marco Rose said earlier this month that he is looking forward to working with the highly rated striker, and wants to help him succeed without putting too much pressure on his shoulders.

Moukoko enjoyed an impressive start to his professional career last season, scoring three goals in just 14 league appearances. And he will now be aiming to build on that in the upcoming campaign.

New signing Abdoulaye Kamara also took part in his first training session for Borussia Dortmund. The 16 year old signed a long-term contract with BVB earlier on Tuesday, joining on a free transfer from Paris St. Germain. He is also expected to be included in the traveling squad for the training camp in Bad Ragaz.
