The former Newcastle United striker Lomana LuaLua has been recalled to the Rizespor squad following Mehmet Özdilek’s departure.

Özdilek resigned as Rizespor manager following four back-to-back defeats in the Turkish Super League.

Lualua was left out of the squad following a dispute with the 48-year-old manager.

The 33-year-old winger returned to first team training today.

LuaLua has made five appearances for Rizespor this season.

Rizespor find themselves in 16. place with ten points from 12 games.
