Rivers United midfielder, Maurice Chukwu will return for the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup quarter-final clash against Young Africans, on Sunday.

Chukwu missed the first leg against Yanga due to suspension, following an accumulation of yellow cards.

The midfielder’s absence left a big shoe to fill, as the team could not quite create enough goalscoring chances and also badly lacked creativity from the midfield.

Meanwhile, Rivers United’s top scorer in the competition, Paul Acqua, also missed the game and is in a race against time to be fit for the return leg.
