Top Wikki Tourists striker to resume training on Tuesday

Wikki Tourists’ Abba Umar has given a positive update on his knee injury ahead of his team's preparation for this weekend's Nigeria Professional Football League tie with Sunshine Stars.

Umar was injured in the Giant Elephants 1-0 home win over Katsina United in a recent league tie, and there were fears that he may not make it for their away fixture to the Owena Whales in Akure.

But the player disclosed that he hopes to resume training by Tuesday, and that he is likely to travel with the team if he responds well during this week's practice sessions.
