Kano Pillars have received a timely boost ahead of their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday three fixture, as star midfielder Aminu Muhammad has officially returned to training.
The dynamic midfielder had been out since the start of the 2025/26 NPFL season due to illness, leaving a gap in the team’s midfield. However, Muhammad rejoined his teammates on Tuesday’s training session, injecting renewed confidence into the squad.
Head coach Evans Ogenyi, who is still searching for his first win of the season, will see Muhammad’s return as a major advantage. The Sai Masu Gida have only managed a single point from their opening two matches, making the upcoming tie crucial.
This weekend, Pillars will lock horns with Katsina United in a highly anticipated northern derby at the Muhammadu Dikko Stadium. The clash promises intensity, with both sides eager to establish early momentum in the campaign.
For Kano Pillars, the return of Aminu Muhammad could just be the spark they need to turn their season around.
