Rivers United's Ani Ozoemena Returns to Training Post-Surgery
Rivers United has announced that goalkeeper Ani Ozoemena has returned to full training following a career-threatening surgery. The club reportedly spent approximately ₦14 million to cover Ozoemena's surgery and rehabilitation expenses, ensuring he did not have to worry about medical bills during his treatment.
This initiative is part of Rivers United's commitment to prioritizing player welfare, as stated in a release from the club. In March 2026, the club reaffirmed its dedication to supporting players through injuries, using Ozoemena's case as a key example.
Additionally, Rivers United mentioned the successful recovery of right-back Ebuka Akobundu, who returned to action after being sidelined for 378 days due to an abdominal injury. Ozoemena's return is seen as a significant boost for Rivers United as they continue their league campaign.
