NPFL 25: Abia Warriors Captain Returns From Injury Ahead Bendel Insurance Clash

Precious Oham

The skipper of Abia Warriors Football Club of Umuahia, Augustine Njoku, has made a return to action following the hamstring injury he sustained three weeks ago during the Matchday 25 league game against reigning champions Enugu Rangers in Umuahia, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Njoku was seen training separately from the Warriors squad, ostensibly working on his fitness and full recovery.

The Warriors captain, while speaking with the club's media, expressed his delight and gratitude to God for the speedy recovery.

"I feel very good, you know, being out of the team for some weeks now, coming back to training, I feel very, very good, and I'm happy for that.

"I'm not feeling any pain in the hamstring anymore, so it's a good one; I really thank God for having recovered so quickly; I can say all glory to God Almighty.

 "Bendel Insurance has improved lately, and we got the maximum points at their home in Benin in the first round. I know they must be coming with everything to see if they can equally get a point here in Umuahia, but as I usually do say all the time, no game is alike.

"I believe we're going to make a return to victory again using the Bendel Insurance game on Sunday as a key start to our return to victory I believe." 

Abia Warriors will welcome Bendel Insurance of Benin in a league fixture on Sunday, 16th March 2025 at the Umuahia Township Stadium. Kickoff time is 4pm.
