Pillars will be boosted by the return of Shehu Abdullahi and Ezekiel Mba for Saturday’s CAF Champions League return leg match against AS Vita of DR Congo.

Both Abdullahi and Mba missed the first leg match in Kinshasa which Pillars lost 3-1 because they did not get visas to DRC.

“We will certainly be boosted by the return of Shehu and Mba. They did not play the first match because they did not get visas,” Pillars spokesman Idris Malikawa said.

“We need our best players to overturn the defeat in Kinshasa on Sunday.”

Midfielder Shehu featured at the recent CHAN in South Africa, while striker Mba impressed for new club Pillars at the pre-season Super 4 in Abuja.
