‎El-Kanemi goalkeeper Otuyiga on recovery path after injury layoff

El-Kanemi Warriors goalkeeper, Hakeem Otuyiga, has returned to training after spending more than a month on the sidelines owing to injury.

‎‎The former Akwa United man joined his teammates this week in training but only did light work.

‎‎Otuyiga’s return is a boost for El-Kanemi Warriors ahead of the final run-in of the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

‎The goalkeeper is happy to be back and is ready to get into the thick of things.

‎”I am back to training but not fully back. I’ve started rehabilitation. I promise I will be back and better,” Otuyiga told the club’s media.

‎‎Otuyiga suffered a fractured arm during a tune-up game in early January before the start of the second round and had to undergo a surgery immediately.

‎‎He has since been out of the El-Kanemi Warriors squad.

‎‎The goalkeeper has made 16 appearances for El-Kanemi Warriors this season and kept eight clean sheets.
