The 31-year-old defender has been sidelined for almost two years with a serious knee injury.

Reid, who has played 223 times for the Hammers, is the club's second longest-serving player behind captain Mark Noble.
He began his West Ham career in August 2010 when he signed from Danish side FC Midtjylland on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
His first season was a disappointment when he made just 12 appearances and the club was relegated to the Championship.
But he established himself in the side the following campaign when West Ham returned to the Premier League at the first attempt.
The New Zealand international, who played 25 times for his country, will be remembered for scoring the last ever goal at Upton Park in a 3-2 win over Manchester United.
Reid will join up with Sporting Kansas City ahead of their new campaign which gets under way with a trip to Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday March 1.
The club has been an ever-present in the United States' top flight since 1996, winning the championship in 2000 and 2013.
