Paintsil set to play again today

John Paintsil will play again for the first time since December when he steps out for Fulham's reserves against Wolves on Wednesday night.

The Ghana right back has been out for three months after damaging his knee in an English Premier League game against Chelsea that ruled him out of the 2010 Nations Cup.

But the player says he is now ready again and is thrilled with that.

“I have been training with the senior side and it's now time for me to feature in a match,” Paintsil told the GFA's official newspaper.

“It's been a long way but the most important thing is that I am almost back. I just can't wait to contribute especially towards the end of the season and then we can think about the World Cup.”

His return will be music to the ears of Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac who has stressed many times that the experience of players like Paintsil will be priceless at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
