Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) have confirmed that players Taiye Murtala and Abdullahi Lawal have both undergone successful surgeries, with their rehabilitation process now officially underway.

The Ibadan-based club made the announcement over the weekend, emphasizing its continued commitment to player welfare and medical support.

“At Shooting Stars Sports Club, player health and overall well-being continue to be treated with the utmost importance, ensuring that every member of the squad receives the best possible care when facing setbacks,” the club stated.

According to the club’s medical team, both players are expected to return to full fitness later in the 2025/26 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season, following a structured rehabilitation programme.

“The club extends its best wishes to Taiye and Abdullahi, hoping for a smooth and speedy recovery as they begin their rehabilitation programs immediately.”

Meanwhile, 3SC are showing signs of resurgence after a sluggish start to the season, securing a vital 2-1 away victory over Warri Wolves in Ozoro — a result that could mark a turning point in their campaign.
