Kano Pillars Face Tough Test Against Remo Stars Without Key Midfielder Mustapha Umar

Kano Pillars will be without their young midfield maestro, Mustapha Umar, as they take on Remo Stars in their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 23 clash today.

The 19-year-old playmaker is suspended for the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards, a big blow for Sai Masu Gida, who are already struggling for form.

A Big Miss for Kano Pillars

Umar has been one of the standout performers for Pillars this season, making 21 league appearances, scoring two goals, and providing one assist. His vision, creativity, and ability to control the midfield have been crucial for the team.

His absence means Kano Pillars will have to restructure their midfield, with coach Abdullahi Maikaba likely to turn to other options to fill the void.

Can Pillars Overcome Their Struggles?

The team is currently on a poor run of form, making the Remo Stars fixture even more difficult. Playing away at the Remo Stars Stadium, they will need to put in a strong defensive performance and find a way to create chances without their main playmaker.
