Kwara United technical adviser, Suleiman Ashifat, has blamed injuries for his side’s 3-1 defeat to Enyimba in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter on Sunday, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Harmony Boys were undone by the People’s Elephant at the Enyimba International Stadium, Aba, in a Matchday fixture that saw the visitors struggle to settle into their usual rhythm.

According to Ashifat, Kwara United were forced into an early tactical reshuffle after two key players picked up injuries during the warm-up, disrupting the team’s original game plan.

 “We had to change our game pattern a few minutes into the match because two of our regular players, including midfielder Philip Ozor and one defender, sustained injuries during the warm-up,”

Ashifat told Kwara United’s media team. Despite the setback, the Kwara United boss remained optimistic, insisting the team would quickly recover and focus on upcoming fixtures.

“Football is like that sometimes. We will go back, prepare, and regroup for our next game,” he added.

The defeat leaves Kwara United looking to bounce back in their next NPFL outing as they aim to steady their campaign.
