Enyimba International FC's lanky striker, Chijioke Mbaoma, is set to miss the crucial league game against Rivers United on Sunday in Aba.
The People's Elephants will host the Pride of Rivers in Match Day 34 of the Startimes/Nigeria Premier Football League at the Enyimba International Stadium.
Mbaoma was substituted in the early minutes of the Federation Cup game against Sokoto United due to injury.
The skillful attacker is expected to undergo a late fitness test to ascertain his fitness level for the game.
He's currently the joint-top scorer in the league with 14 goals.
Peoples Elephant, currently placed second in the league, will fancy their chances to consolidate their grip on the top against visiting Rivers United, a side they have been having tough encounters with.
What readily comes to mind is last season's debacle in which Enyimba International defeated Rivers to win the league in Lagos.
