Rangers International will face a tough challenge as they prepare for their trip to Remo Stars this Sunday without midfielder Kazeem Ogunleye. The Flying Antelopes will be without one of their key players after Ogunleye was shown a red card during their match in Lagos. His absence is a significant blow, given his crucial contribution in their last encounter with Remo Stars, where he scored in Ikenne.
Head coach Fidelis Ilechukwu expressed his disappointment with Ogunleye's dismissal and hinted at disciplinary measures. Speaking to News! Central TV after the game, Ilechukwu emphasized the importance of discipline in the team, stating, "We will punish him; a player has to be disciplined." His remarks suggest that the team is taking the incident seriously and will make adjustments to address Ogunleye's absence.
Ilechukwu also mentioned the challenge of filling the gap left by Ogunleye in the squad, noting that other players are ready to step up. “We will look at the player that will fill the space," the coach said, indicating that the team is actively planning for their upcoming match without the suspended midfielder. The coach believes that the pressure from Remo Stars will be intense, but they are prepared to adapt.
Despite the setback, Ilechukwu remained optimistic. He referenced IJABALL, the Sky Blue Stars head Coach, smiling from above, suggesting that he will be happy that Ogunleye will miss the game.
However, this could be a test of their depth and resilience as they prepare to take on Remo Stars in what is sure to be a high-stakes match.
Rangers International will need to find a new strategy and adjust their lineup for Sunday’s game. The absence of Kazeem Ogunleye may be a challenge, but with the right preparation and discipline, the Flying Antelopes could still come out strong against Remo Stars.
