Waziri is nursing ankle injury while Musa is being treated for the head injury he sustained during the clash.

The duo has been an integral part of coach Bala Nikyu squad this season and their absence would be felt.

Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports that NPFL wonder goal star Ahmed Usman and Hassan Hussein are also nursing various degrees of injuries.

“We have about four players on the injury list now and our doctor is working tirelessly to get them back on their fit quickly. Waziri and Musa sustained the injury during last weekend’s game against Sunshine Stars and they won’t be ready for Rangers’ match. Usman is recovering from muscle pull while Hussein is also responding to treatment after his groin injury,” Kurba told Sportinglens.blogspot.com.

“I don’t think their absence will affect the team because we have the good replacement for them. There is no doubt that they are good players but we have to do what is expected of us anytime. This will be an avenue for other players to prove themselves too. We will go all out for maximum points in the game against Rangers.”
