Enyimba will Sunday attempt to overturn a 1-0 advantage of Wydad Casablanca in the CAF Champions League semi-final second leg with the help of strikers Junior Osagie and Victor Barnabas.

Osagie and Barnabas have missed the team’s last five matches but are now back training with the Nigerian champions in Enugu ahead of the crucial Champions League tie against their Moroccan rivals.

Former Club Africain of Tunisia striker Osagie stayed away from the team, while Barnabas was injured in a road accident.

Both are very experienced strikers and will therefore be expected to deal with the pressure they will face on Sunday as they fight back to qualify for the Champions League final.

Enyimba lacked firepower in the first clash in Casablanca with only Uche Kalu upfront as they played a very defensive game with three central defenders providing goalkeeper Paul Godwin extra cover.

Kalu and leftback Valentine Nwaebili are the leading scorers for Enyimba in this year’s Champions League with three goals apiece.

The other returnee to ‘The People’s Elephant’ is Chijoke Ejiogu, whose experience and penalty-stopping prowess could come in handy against Wydad this weekend.

“He has a new attitude now and that is why is he back in the squad,” a top team official informed MTNFootball.com
