Kano Pillars have been boosted for Wednesday’s high-profile clash against Enugu Rangers with the return of star midfielder Rabiu Ali after he was suspended for the team’s last game after picking up five bookings.
“Rabiu is back for the game against Rangers, he has served out his suspension for accumulating five bookings after he missed the home game against Plateau United,” Pillars spokesman Idris Malikawa informed AfricanFootball.com
However, Pillars will be without defensive midfielder Usman Mohammed, who has been granted compassionate leave following the death of his father.
It will be a battle of the title chasers when Rangers host Pillars at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu on Wednesday.
Pillars won the reverse fixture 2-1 on the opening day of the season.
