Kano Pillars captain, Ahmed Musa, has returned to training as the club prepares for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 10 fixture against Niger Tornadoes. The veteran forward’s comeback brings relief and excitement to the team after missing their last two matches due to injury.
Musa, who sat out games against Shooting Stars and Barau FC, was spotted training with his teammates on Friday. His presence is expected to give a significant morale boost to the squad as they look to return to winning ways under their new technical adviser, Muhammed Babaganaru, who recently took charge of the team.
The Sai Masu Gida will face Niger Tornadoes on Saturday at their temporary home ground in Katsina. The match is anticipated to be an intense battle, as both teams aim to climb higher on the NPFL table. Musa’s leadership and experience are likely to play a key role in guiding his side through the encounter.
Fans will recall that Kano Pillars triumphed 2-1 over Niger Tornadoes in the same fixture last season, with goals from Rashid Alhassan and Ahmed Musa, while Mohammed Aliyu scored the consolation for the visitors. Supporters are now eager to see if Musa can make an immediate impact on his return.
Musa’s comeback could not have come at a better time for Kano Pillars, as they continue their rebuilding process under Babaganaru. The club will be hoping to secure maximum points and use the match as a turning point in their campaign.
