striker, Gambo Mohammed has failed late fitness test and will not be available
for selection when his side face Niger Tornadoes in the match day 19 of the
Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash at the Confluence Stadium,
Lokoja, Sportinglens.blogspot.com can reveal.
The team’s
doctor Ali Adamu had already assured fans that the gangling forward would be
available for the encounter when he showed an improvement during training
session.
But the
club’s Media Officer, Rilwanu Idris Malikawa informed Sportinglens.blogspot.com
that Gambo has not yet fully recovered fully from the ankle injury he is
suffering from.
“Everybody
would have loved to have him back in the team but we have to be very careful
and be patient with him. He is not yet 100 per cent fit and any attempt to
force him play may aggravate the injury and we don’t want anything of such,”
Malikawa told Sportinlens.blogspot.com.
Malikawa
also said the team arrived in Lokoja in high spirit with the aim of getting
positive result against Tornadoes.
“We are in Lokoja
with 20 players and all of them are set for the match and after the match we
are heading to Enugu for our rescheduled match with Rangers FC on Sunday,”
Malikawa said.
