Zambia national team striker Patson Daka has started light training after being out for two weeks after suffering a hamstring injury.
Daka limped out of Redbull Salzburg’s 3-2 loss to Athletico Madrid in a UEFA Champions League Group A encounter just 29 minutes in and subsequently went on to miss the two league matches and the 6-2 loss to Bayern Munich.
Patson Daka had to leave the pitch in the first half with an injury to the back of his right thigh. He'll have it checked further and diagnosed. Get well soon, Patson!#AtletiSAL 1-1 (H/T) #UCL #neverstop pic.twitter.com/aF6OL27BAB

The injury also ruled the 2017 CAF young player of the year out of Chipolopolo’s back to back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Botswana.
The Kafue Celtic product has however given hope to fans for Salzburg and Chipolopolo after he posted a video on Social media of himself doing light training for the first time since late last month.
Never just see the finish line. Embrace the courage to start and perseverance of the journey. Happy to be back outside (exactly two weeks today).
Thank you all for your prayers 🙏🏾#recoverycontinues#godsreportoverdoctorsreport#PD20#RBS#MakeJesusYourAim#12MANagement pic.twitter.com/HGGHSencDA
