Ghana international Joseph Paintsil is set to make a return from injury after spending six weeks on the sidelines.

He picked up an injury to his quadriceps, which ruled him out for over a month and saw him miss Ghana's World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.

However, the forward is now fit and part of LA Galaxy's squad for the clash against Orlando City in the early hours of Sunday in Major League Soccer.

The 27-year-old is expected to add much-needed firepower upfront.

Having scored 10 goals and recorded 10 assists last year, his return is a significant boost.

Paintsil had a stellar performance in his maiden MLS season, leading LA Galaxy to triumph.
