Genk head coach, Thorsten Fink, has revealed Nigerian winger, Yira Collins Sor, is in contention to feature for his side this weekend after a lengthy injury spell, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 24-year-old had scored one goal and provided four assists in five assists for the Belgian Pro League leaders before he sustained a muscle injury in the early days of December last year.
