Kwara United will on Sunday host Kano Pillars in a Matchday 26 fixture of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) as the Harmony Boys aim to bounce back from their narrow 1–0 defeat away to Plateau United.
Following the disappointing outing in Jos, the players have put the setback behind them and shifted focus to Sunday’s crucial encounter.
Kwara United’s training sessions during the week reflected renewed determination and commitment as the team intensify preparations for the fixture.
Kwara United have been boosted by the return of Adeshina Gata, Shola Abdulraheem, and Ini Emmanuel, who are back in training after recovering from injuries.
However, Babatunde Bright, Alao Mohammed, and Abdulsalam Abdulsalam are currently sidelined due to injuries.
Kwara United head coach Ashifat Suleiman, after supervising Friday’s final training session, described the game as a must-win encounter.
He charged his players to remain focused, committed, and resolute as they strive to move completely away from the dropped zone.
In a major morale booster, APC chieftain and TETFUND board member, Engr Nurudeen Adeyemi Balogun, has bought out all match tickets to grant supporters and stakeholders free access to the Rashidi Yekini Main Bowl of the George Innih Stadium. The gesture is expected to attract a large turnout of fans, creating a vibrant atmosphere to rally the team throughout the 90 minutes.
It would be recalled that Kano Pillars edged Kwara United by a lone goal in the first stanza of the season.
The Harmony Boys will now look to claim maximum points in front of their home supporters when action kicks off at 4pm on Sunday.
