U.S. men's national team attacking prospect Tim Weah has returned to full training at Ligue 1 side Lille after suffering a second hamstring tear back in February, according to the club's Twitter account.

He was ruled out of the remainder of the 2019-20 season in early March, though the COVID-19 pandemic brought play to a halt shortly thereafter before the season was eventually concluded at the point it paused. The 2020-21 season is set to kick off on August 21, with Lille's campaign set to start two days later.


Lille signed Weah from Paris Saint-Germain prior to the start of last season. He's made only three appearances for his new club in total, after previously spending the 2018-19 season on loan with Celtic, where he scored three Scottish Premier Leagues goals in 13 games (four starts).
