Lobi Stars first choice goalkeeper, Terkaa Melai has expressed satisfaction with his recovery rate. Melai continues his rehabilitation after sustaining an injury during pre-season which has kept him out of league action this term. “I have since resumed light training and hope to be back soon considering my present state.

I’ve been watching the team and remain confident we will bounce back. I am recovering well and hoe to return and reclaim my position”, he said. In Melai’s absence, Lobi has depended on the duo of former UNICEM Rovers goalkeeper, Agbor Ekoi and former Nembe City goalkeeper, Edet Eteka.

Melai entered the league’s record books in 2014 when he became the first goalkeeper to score seven penalty kicks in a season. Since making his debut on the last day of season at Kaduna United, back in 2012, Melai remains the longest serving goalkeeper. Lobi host El Kanemi Warriors tomorrow at the Aper Aku Stadium in Makurdi, with the homers targeting maximum points.
