Kano Pillars Suffer Blow as Midfielder Mustapha Umar Sits Out Remo Stars Clash

Kano Pillars will be forced to navigate their Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 23 encounter against Remo Stars without the services of influential midfielder Mustapha Umar.

Umar’s absence stems from an accumulation of yellow cards, which has triggered an automatic suspension. The 19-year-old has been an integral part of the Kano Pillars setup this season, featuring in 21 league matches, scoring two goals, and providing one assist.

As one of the key players for the “Sai Masu Gida,” Umar’s suspension comes as a significant blow to the team’s chances against Remo Stars. His creative spark and work rate in midfield will be sorely missed, and the team will need to adapt quickly to fill the void left by his absence.
