The Digest:

Kwara United will be without key duo Bright Babatunde and Alao Mohammed for Sunday's Matchday 27 NPFL clash against Abia Warriors at Umuahia Township Stadium. Both players are currently recuperating from injuries, having been instrumental in Kwara United's President's Cup triumph last season. However, defender Mustapha Salisu returns to the team after serving a one-match suspension following a red card. The Harmony Boys have struggled for form this season, currently occupying 16th position on the league table with 29 points. Abia Warriors sit fifth with 40 points, presenting a tough challenge for the injury-hit visitors.

Key Points:
  • The absence of two key players weakens Kwara United's chances against high-flying Abia Warriors.
  • It deepens the team's struggles in an already difficult season.
  • Kwara United's relegation battle intensifies, while Abia Warriors seek to consolidate top-five position.
  • This signals the impact of injuries on teams fighting to avoid the drop.
  • The timing, with Salisu returning, offers partial relief.

Kwara United face Abia Warriors without the injured duo of Babatunde and Mohammed, as the 16th-placed side battles to avoid relegation against fifth-placed hosts.
