Enyimba head coach, Lawrence Ukaegbu, has attributed the team’s defeat to El-Kanemi Warriors to defensive errors.

The People’s Elephant suffered a 3-2 loss to El-Kanemi Warriors in Maiduguri on Sunday.

Ukaegbu insisted that the Borno Army were fortunate to secure the victory.

“It was a good game but for the errors at the back which allowed them cheap goals,” Ukaegbu told Sportslighthub.

“I think they were lucky to escape defeat because if we had converted the chances we created, it would have been the other way round.”

Enyimba will face Kwara United next in Aba.

Former Werder Bremen forward, Martin Harni, has hit out at Victor Boniface for adding several kilograms over his ideal weight.

Boniface is now facing a fierce backlash over his fitness levels as he struggles to work his way back from injury.

The Nigerian international, who is currently on loan at Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen, has only recently returned to training after a long injury layoff.

However, instead of a straightforward recovery, the spotlight has shifted to his physical shape.

Reports indicate that after three months out, Boniface showed up for training overweight.

Images of the 25-year-old quickly made the rounds, drawing sharp criticism from Harnik.

“When I join team training, I have to be as fit as possible, and he is confused fit with overweight,” Harnik said on his podcast, as quoted by 20min.

“He’s carrying a considerable amount of weight. He’s coming back from this injury in a terrible state – that is unprofessional.”
