Kano Pillars captain Gambo Mohammed is confident
that he could make his return to the Nigeria Professional Football
League (NPFL) this Sunday when his team play hosts to Lobi Stars.
Gambo has been sidelined for two months and 23 days since he sustained a knee injury in their rearranged matchday 8 game against Wikki Tourists, though he has returned to light workouts in recent weeks.

The striker now feels he is getting back into shape and would not mind to feature against Lobi, but said he would respect the decision
of the coaching crew and medical team if he is told to tarry a while.
"I feel better now and I have trained too in recent weeks. I feel I am ready to play again but that will depend on the coaches and the doctor now. I want to play this weekend but there is no rush about it but like I said if I am called upon I am ready," said Gambo to supersport.com.
In the midst of his wait for his first league appearance since early March, Gambo is concerned with Pillars' recent poor run. The Kano club have won just twice in the 10 matches in which the striker has been sidelined.
"We have not had the best times in recent games, and we all know that. These things happen in football but I believe that the team will do well in the coming games," he said.
Gambo had scored twice in the league this season before he suffered the knee problem.
