Injuries ravages Kwara United squad ahead of Nigerian Premier League clash against Katsina United

Kwara United have been dealt a significant blow ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League clash with Katsina United, as a growing injury list threatens to derail their preparations for the crucial encounter.

In a high-stake clash this weekend, Kwara United, who bowed out of the Confederation Cup, will lock horns with Katsina United, as both teams yearn for maximum points.

Ahead of the game, Kwara United’s squad has been significantly depleted, with five key players ruled out of the clash due to injury setbacks.

The Harmony Boys will have to negotiate for points Aliu Saulaudeen, Muhammad Alao, Mubarak Saed, Obiora Kingsley, and Mises Nyebe.

While Alao and Saed are sidelined due to malaria, Saulaudeen, Kingsley and Nyebe remains on the sidelines due to injury setbacks, leaving the technical crew with limited options ahead of the Matchday 9 fixture.

Kwara United will face Katsina United at the Rashidi Yekini Stadium in Ilorin this weekend. The Harmony Boys currently sit 14th on the NPFL table with nine points from eight games and will be desperate to return to winning ways in front of their home fans.

With injuries and illness affecting key players, the Kwara head coach may be forced to reshuffle his starting lineup, relying on younger players to step up in what promises to be a tightly contested encounter. Katsina United, on the other hand, will look to capitalise on Kwara United’s weakened squad as they aim to climb further up the table.
