The dependable defender who sustained the injury during
the 4-1 thrashing of Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS FC) in a Match Day 15, failed
to recover as the Peace Boys hope to maintain their leadership position of the
NPFL table.
Media Officer of the club, Albert Dakup informed
SportingLife that the team will also be missing the services of two of its influential
midfielders Benjamin Turba and Lazarus Fan, while two other senior players,
Kabiru Umar and Anayo Ogbonna who were instrumental to the team’s revival last
season are also out due to tactical reasons.
Speaking on Wednesday’s encounter scheduled to hold at
the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt, Dakup noted that the Jos-based
outfit is not underrating the Stanley Eguma side because of their current
position on the league, but will accord them all the respect they deserve as
their host.
Dakup said that the unpredictability of the game of
football is what Rivers United is going through and he expressed optimism that
the Pride of Rivers will bounce back to claim their right place in the NPFL and
the CAF Confederations Cup.
He revealed that the Coach Kennedy Boboye tutored side
are fully focused on picking a continental ticket at the end of the season as a
sign of appreciation to the Pius Henwan led management and the number one
supporter, Governor Simon Bako Lalong for his unflinching support to the team.
