Pillars to miss Gambo Mohammed, two others

Kano Pillars will be without talismanic  forward, Gambo Mohammed, two other players and the club’s chief coach, Kabiru Baleria when they tackle El Kanemi Warriors today in a rescheduled NPFL Match Day 36 tie.

Gambo suffered a knock in Sai Masu Gida’s 1-4 loss to Ikorodu United over a week ago and has been ruled out of the tie with the Borno Army as he only resumed training early this week.

Pillars head coach, Mohammed Babaganaru informed SportingLife that Gambo’s situation is being monitored and that hopefully by weekend he should be fully fit to face Heartland in Owerri if he receives the nod of the medical team to do so.

Babaganaru, however, added that Bala Mohammed and Murtala Ibrahim won’t be available for selection neither today nor the weekend tie in Owerri because they are currently down with malaria fever.

He also confirmed that Pillars’ chief coach, Kabiru Baleria won’t be in the dugout for the tie with El Kanemi Warriors too today because the ex-international turned coach was hospitalised on Monday evening  but that he is getting better.

Babaganaru told SportingLife that Pillars won’t be deterred from picking the three points against El Kanemi Warriors despite the number of absentees and that the remaining players and members of the technical crew have enough experience and materials to cope with the current development.
