The Confederations of African Football Committee have given The Nigerian Professional Football League champions, Kano Pillars one week grace to play their Champions League game against Moghreb Tetouane due to the unfortunate armed robbery attack that left five players injured last Thursday.
The NPFL champions were on their way to play their Nigerian League opening game against Heartland FC of Owerri last weekend before they were attacked somewhere around Abaji, an outskirt of the Federal Capital Territory last Thursday and five of their players were severely injured.
The club announced the postponement through their official twitter account on Monday night, that the game against the Moroccan side has been shifted by a week.
"Caf Champions League Committee has postponed our Ist leg match against MA Tetouane of Morocco for one week," the club tweeted.
"The March 14th game is now scheduled to be played on 20, 21, or 22 of March. The match has been postponed due to the attack on the team."
The players injured in the attack are Striker Gambo Mohammed, Eneji Otekpa, Reuben Ogbonaya, Moses Ekpai and Murtala Adamu and are still recuperating but the team doctors insists that Gambo would require surgery.
The NPFL champions are yet to start their domestic campaign as their opening match against Heartland has been postponed indefinitely. Goal
