NPFL: Injury Boost For Kwara United As Aimufua Returns Ahead Of Remo Stars Clash

Kwara United have received a significant boost ahead of their crucial Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) Matchday 31 fixture, with forward Junior Aimufua declared fit and available for selection.

The Harmony Boys are set to face Remo Stars this Sunday in Ikenne, and Aimufua’s return from injury could prove vital in their fight for survival.

The dynamic forward has been sidelined since last month after picking up an injury that forced him to miss several key games. His absence was felt by the club as they struggled for consistency in the final third. However, after completing his rehabilitation and passing late fitness tests, Aimufua has been cleared to rejoin the squad, providing a timely offensive boost for the relegation-battling side.

Aimufua has been one of Kwara United’s more consistent performers this season, featuring in 22 matches. Despite operating in a struggling team, he has managed to contribute three goals and two assists, showcasing his ability to create chances and trouble opposing defences. His pace and direct running are expected to be key assets as the team looks to secure a positive result on the road.

While Aimufua’s return is a welcome development, Kwara United will still have to make do without two influential players. Saheed Olaniyi and Alao Mohammed remain sidelined due to their respective injuries and have not travelled with the squad for Sunday’s encounter. Their absence will test the depth of the squad, but Aimufua’s return helps soften the blow.

The upcoming fixture carries immense weight for Kwara United, who remain locked in a tense relegation battle in the lower reaches of the NPFL table. Every point is crucial at this stage of the season, and facing a well-organised Remo Stars side on their home turf in Ikenne presents a stern test. The Harmony Boys will be hoping that the return of their fit-again forward can provide the spark needed to claim a much-needed result.
