Bendel Insurance cites paperwork delay for Obasogie’s absence vs Warri Wolves

Bendel Insurance assistant coach Jolomi Atune said goalkeeper Amas Obasogie missed the NPFL matchday one clash against Warri Wolves due to incomplete paperwork after his return from Tanzanian club Singinda Black Stars. Atune told Complete Sports that Obasogie remains with the squad and just needs time to finalize transfer formalities.

Obasogie, a Super Eagles goalkeeper, rejoined Bendel Insurance this month after playing abroad. His absence meant the team had to rely on alternative goalkeepers for the Warri Wolves encounter. The club aims to complete his documentation before their next league fixture against Nasarawa United in Lafia.

For fans and fantasy players, this delay means Obasogie is unlikely to feature until paperwork clears, potentially affecting Bendel Insurance’s defensive options in the short term. Once cleared, he should be available for selection, boosting the team’s goalkeeping depth heading into the middle of the season.

Will you adjust your matchday expectations or fantasy lineup based on Obasogie’s delayed debut, or wait for confirmation of his clearance before making changes?
