Enyimba will be without key duo, Ifeanyi Ihemekwele and Imo Obot in Wednesday’s Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, matchday 26 encounter against Shooting Stars.
Ihemekwele dislocated his shoulder in Enyimba’s Abia State Federation Cup final clash against Ahudiya.
He has scored five league goals for the nine-time champions this season.
Left-back Obot is yet to recover fully from the injury he sustained in Enyimba’s matchday 24 1-0 victory over Rivers United.
The defender scored the decisive goal in the encounter from a sublime free kick.
The People’s Elephant are unbeaten in their last six games against Shooting Stars.
Enyimba currently sit 10th in the NPFL table with 34 points from 25 matches, while Shooting Stars occupy second place with 41 points.
