Enyimba captain, Chinedu Udoji has said he is confident they will catch up with the clubs at the top of the Nigeria league “in the next few weeks”.
The People’s Elephant are 11th on the table and seven points adrift of leaders Rangers, but with three games at hand, Udoji said they hope to win those games to see them go top of the standings.
“We haven’t started well like everyone knows, but we are not too far off,” he said.
“We have some outstanding games that will see us go top if we won. If we won those games, we’ll be top in the next few weeks.”
The Nigeria champions are beginning to gain some momentum after a slow start to the season and are now in the money-spinning group stages of the CAF Champions League and continued their resurgence in the league with a 2-0 home win over FC Ifeanyi Ubah last weekend.
