Finidi Speaks on Chijioke Mbaoma's Goal Drought Ahead Enyimba's Clash With Sunshine Stars in NPFL

• Finidi George opened up on Enyimba forward Chijioke Mbaoma ending his poor run of form
• The striker has one goal in the last six games in the Nigerian Professional Football League
• The People's Elephants will be in action against Sunshine Stars in their next league match

Super Eagles interim coach, Finidi George, has commented on Enyimba's top scorer Chijioke Mbaoma's goal drought in the Nigerian Professional Football League ahead of their tie against Sunshine Stars this weekend.

Mbaoma has been struggling in front of goal for the Aba Warriors and missed many chances in the People's Elephants' 1-0 win over Heartland in their last league game.

The striker has scored just one goal in the defending champions' last six league games and will hope to get back to his best against the Akure Gunners.

Despite the Enyimba striker's poor run of form, he is still the joint top scorer in the Nigerian league with 13 goals.

Speaking to the media ahead of their next league game, Finidi backed Mbaoma to get back his scoring form and promised to continue to help and encourage the striker, according to a report by the Daily Post.

"We will continue to encourage Mbaoma. He is NPFL's joint-top scorer with 13 goals. We will see how far he can go in the remaining games in the league," he said.

"This is not the time to talk down on one of your star players. We will support him so that he continues to finish well. I don't like to talk about players missing goals, but the player already knows. I have to psyche him up and get him ready for the next game."

Finidi leads Enyimba to victory

Sports Brief previously reported that Enyimba FC whitewashed visiting Kano Pillars in a highly-entertaining Nigeria Professional Football League fixture on Wednesday evening, April 3.

The Peoples Elephants scored five un-replied goals to beat the rated Kano Pillars as they keep tabs on league leaders Enugu Rangers.

Finidi George returned to local duties one week after leading the Super Eagles to friendly matches against Ghana and Mali.
