Abia Warriors are delighted to welcome back defender Prince Okorie ahead of their crucial Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clash against Sunshine Stars. The 22-year-old has been out of action since late 2024 due to injury but has now rejoined the squad after completing his rehabilitation.
Okorie resumed full training on Friday, marking the end of his recovery period. His return is a significant boost for Abia Warriors as they prepare for a key fixture in their NPFL campaign. The club expressed excitement over his comeback, emphasizing his importance to the squad.
"After weeks of recovery and hard work, Prince Okorie is back on the pitch," the club announced. "The wait is over, and he is eager to give his all for the team again." His return is expected to strengthen the team's defensive setup as they aim to secure maximum points in front of their home fans.
Before his injury, Okorie was a crucial part of Abia Warriors’ defense, known for his versatility and composure. His absence was felt, but the team managed to stay competitive in the league. His return offers the coaching staff more options at the back as they navigate the season’s final stretch.
The match against Sunshine Stars is scheduled for Sunday at the Umuahia Township Stadium, a fixture that holds significant importance for both sides. Abia Warriors will be hoping to capitalize on home advantage, while Sunshine Stars aim to improve their standing in the league.
With Okorie back in contention, Abia Warriors fans will be eager to see if he can make an immediate impact. His presence could provide the defensive solidity needed to keep Sunshine Stars at bay and help the team push for a positive result.
As the NPFL season progresses, Okorie's return comes at the right time for Abia Warriors. His fitness and match readiness will be crucial in determining how much of a role he plays in upcoming fixtures.
