Kwara United is gearing up for their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match against Barau FC with the much-anticipated return of two key players, Benjamin Jack and Obeid Ponkap. Both players have fully recovered from their injuries and are expected to be included in the squad for the match scheduled to take place at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano on Sunday.

The return of Jack and Ponkap comes at a crucial time for Kwara United, who are looking to improve their standing in the league after a challenging start to the season. Currently, the team sits in 13th place on the league table, having garnered 11 points from their first nine matches. This situation has left the Harmony Boys eager to secure a victory against Barau FC, also known as the Maliya Boys.

Their absence will be felt as Kwara United aims to bolster their performance and climb up the league standings.

Head coach Ashifat Suleiman has expressed optimism about the team's prospects, especially with the returning players. The match against Barau FC represents a critical opportunity for Kwara United to gain momentum and build confidence as they navigate the rest of the season. Fans are hopeful that the return of Jack and Ponkap will provide the spark needed for a much-needed victory.
