Enyimba FC has received a significant boost ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match against Plateau United, with the return of two pivotal players, Joel Ezra and Utum Godswill. Both players are set to feature in the match scheduled for Sunday at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba.

Joel Ezra, a versatile defender, had been sidelined for some time due to illness, but he is now fit to return to the squad. Last season, he made a notable contribution with 27 appearances for the club, showcasing his importance to the team. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Utum Godswill has also resumed training after recovering from an injury he sustained three weeks ago.

The return of these players comes at a crucial time for Enyimba, who are looking to build on their recent performance. The team celebrated their first victory of the season with a 4-2 win over Shooting Stars in their last match. This victory marked a turning point for the nine-time champions, who currently sit in 19th place in the league standings with just four points from six matches.

As Enyimba prepares for the encounter against Plateau United, they will be eager to leverage the returning talents of Ezra and Godswill to improve their position in the league. The match not only represents an opportunity for the team to gain momentum but also a chance to showcase their resilience and determination in the face of early-season challenges.
