Nasarawa United midfielder Benjamin Oloche is expected to undergo a late fitness test ahead of the club’s Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) matchday 36 fixture against Shooting Stars.
Oloche was substituted during the 2026 Nasarawa State Federation Cup final at the Lafia City Stadium after picking up a shoulder injury.
The youngster played a key role in the Solid Miners’ semifinal win over Si14 FC, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
Nasarawa United technical adviser Mbwas Mangut said he is hopeful the player will return quickly.
“We pray he recovers quickly from his shoulder injury than earlier feared,” Mangut told the club’s media.
Nasarawa United will face Shooting Stars in Ibadan this weekend.
