“Rivers United were granted an extra day off because of the matchday 32 game against Rangers International which was completed on Monday due to the waterlogged pitch at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium in Enugu And also their trip from the Coal City to Kano is about two days by road,” a top official in the LMC told Completesportsnigeria.com on Wednesday.
