Remo Stars head coach Daniel Ogunmodede has confirmed that striker Victor Mbaoma will be available for selection when the Nigeria Premier Football League champions face Mamelodi Sundowns in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Mbaoma, who has been sidelined since the opening game of the season due to injury, missed the club’s impressive first-round triumph over US Zilimandjou of Comoros.

Speaking ahead of the crucial fixture against the South African giants, Ogunmodede assured fans that the prolific forward has returned to full fitness and will feature in the encounter.

 “Victor is back in training and will be ready for the game against Sundowns. His experience and presence will give us more attacking options,” Ogunmodede stated.

Remo Stars, who are making another push to reach the group stage of the competition, will host the first leg in Ikenne before travelling to South Africa for the decisive return leg.

The return of Mbaoma, a former APR FC of Rwanda striker, is expected to bolster the Sky Blue Stars’ attack as they seek to make history in continental football.
