Nonda ready to return

Monaco are set to be handed a major boost with the news that Shabani Nonda is set to return to action this weekend after a lengthy injury.

The Congo international has been missing since August after sustaining a serious knee injury in the second game of the season against Paris Saint Germain.

Nonda has successfully undergone rehabilitation and he is targeting a return against Ajaccio on Friday.

Last season's top scorer is a month ahead of schedule in his recovery and Nonda is delighted to be back.

"I hope it will go off smoothly. Of course I am happy and I hope I could bring something to the group for the last matches of the season," said Nonda.

Nonda's return will come as a major lift for Monaco as they fight it out with Lyon for Le Championnat and try to overcome Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League.
