Rivers United get injury boost

Rivers United have received injury boost ahead of this weekend’s Match Day 15 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash against Warri Wolves.

There is happier news to report though as Ivoirian striker, Guy Kuemian commenced training this week after recovering from a strain of the left quadriceps.

He suffered the strain in Owerri on April 10 when United lost 1-2 to Heartland.

Ghanaian attacker, Andoh has also resumed training following the knee injury he sustained in Jos as United lost 1-2 to Plateau United on April 24.

Top scorer, Okonkwo is back and available for selection after sitting out the win over Rangers as a result of suspension having received five yellow cards so far this season.

Rivers United defender Joseph Douhadji is still out with illness and will definitely sit out the game against Rangers.

Eguma, however, says he does not know who will play on Sunday.

“The team is looking sharp and injured players are recovering from injury.

“It’s good headache for a coach to have but like I said, we will have to wait till the last training session to decide on who plays and who sits on the bench,” he said.

Rivers United currently occupies seventh place in the NPFL standings with 22 points from 14 games while Wolves are in ninth with 19 points from 13 games.
