Enugu Rangers will be without four key players when they take on Bayelsa United in a pivotal NPFL matchday 36 fixture at the Samson Siasia Stadium in Yenagoa on Sunday. The club has confirmed that Chimobi Igwilo, Godwin Asiriuwa, Emmanuel Essien, and Waheed Adebayo have all been ruled out due to injuries, forcing coach Fidelis Ilechukwu to find suitable replacements from within his squad.
Rangers currently sit at the top of the NPFL standings with 59 points and are chasing their ninth league title. This match is crucial for their title ambitions, and the absence of these players will test the depth and resilience of the Flying Antelopes. The coaching staff will rely on the remaining squad members to step up and deliver a strong performance on the road.
Bayelsa United will be looking to capitalize on Rangers’ depleted lineup as they aim to improve their own position in the table. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at the Samson Siasia Stadium, a venue that promises to provide a tense atmosphere for both sides.
