Ado Ali out of Enyimba tie

Nigerian champions, Kano Pillars, will be without centre-back, Ado Ali, for their clash with Enyimba on Tuesday.

The former Sunshine Stars defender is suspended due to two yellow cards he amassed from the previous games for the Kano club.

Ali is the only key player who will be unavailable for the champions in Tuesday’s Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) match against Enyimba at the Confluence Stadium in Lokoja.

“Our players and coaches held their last training session in Kano yesterday (Saturday) ahead of our game against Enyimba and everyone is available for the game.

We have just one suspension and that is Ado Ali. He is on two yellow cards,” said Kano Pillars’ official, Idris Malikawa to supersport.com.

But Kano Pillars will travel to Lokoja on Sunday for the match against two-time African champions, Enyimba, with established centre-backs in Umar Zango and Mustapha

Musa though the latter has played in defensive midfield more often in recent times.

Kano Pillars are currently in third spot on the NPFL log on 57 points, one more than fourth-placed Enyimba.

A win for either Enyimba or Pillars on Tuesday will see them go top of the standings.
