Shooting Stars could be without four key players—Mustapha Lawal, Sodiq Ibrahim, Ganiyu Wasiu, and Gali Falke—for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 15 fixture against El-Kanemi Warriors.
The quartet sustained minor knocks in previous matches for the Oluyole Warriors and are scheduled to undergo late fitness assessments ahead of Sunday’s clash.
In positive news for coach Nurudeen Aweroro, forward Joshua Akpan has fully recovered and is expected to feature against the Borno Army. Akpan’s availability is a significant boost for Shooting Stars as they aim to end a four-game winless streak.
The encounter is set to be played at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba, Ibadan. Shooting Stars last met El-Kanemi Warriors in Ibadan during the previous season, securing a comprehensive 3-0 victory thanks to goals from Samuel Ayanrinde, Mustapha Adams, and Aliyu Abubakar.
