KARACHI: Nigerian footballers Oludeyi Sunday and Wilson Segun will arrive here on Thursday (tomorrow) to join the camp for the AFC Cup play-off to be held next month in Bahrain.

“Both will reach here on Thursday,” a K-Electric football team official told ‘The News’ here on Tuesday.

K-Electric will face Bahrain’s Al-Hidd in the play-off on February 9. “Effort is also being made to ensure the presence of Kenyan defender Akpaulo. He is expected to come directly to Bahrain,” the official said.

K-Electric are shifting their preparatory camp from Peoples Sports Complex to Steel Town on Wednesday (today).

Eight out-staioned players will join them on Wednesday. “Yes, they will join us there,” the official said.

K-Electric skipper Mohammad Essa will arrive in the port city on Wednesday (today). Winning the play-off would put K-Electric in the group stage of the continent’s second-tier slots.

K-Electric have boosted their line-up by recruiting former KRL midfielders Mehmood Khan and
Dawood Khan.
