Team News
Ghanaian import, Wilson Andoh may get his first start for Dolphins in Makurdi against Lobi Stars on Wednesday.
Andoh, who is an attacker, formerly played for Blessing Soccer Academy in Ghana and was among thirteen players signed in mid-season to beef up the team.
Ifeanyi Egwim lost his fitness battle once again after coming on as a second half substitute in the last game against Akwa United. He is out of this one.
However, Chiwendu Ali who last featured for Dolphins on Match Day 15 against El Kanemi in Katsina has returned.
He had been out with an ankle injury ever since and only returned to training two weeks ago.
