Akwa United
have received a major boost ahead of their Nigeria Professional Football League
(NPFL) matchday 4 fixture against Katsina United on Wednesday following the
return of top striker Ndifreke Effiong from national team duties.
Ndifreke,
who was part of the Home based Eagles for CHAN and WAFU qualifiers as well as
the Africa Under 23 Championship in Egypt, returned to the team's camp in Uyo
on Monday and took part in the team's two training sessions ahead of the
crucial tie against Katsina United.
The
bulldozer striker scored seven goals for the Promise Keepers in last season's
abridged league following his arrival from Abia Warriors.
Ndifreke
formed a solid partnership with last season's joint top scorer Mfon Udoh and
they netted 17 goals between them last season as Akwa United finished top of
their group and qualified for the season ending play-offs in Lagos.
Ndifreke who
is comfortable playing in any position in the attacking line has been selected
alongside 17 others for the game.
