Rangers International striker Godwin Obaje will be unavailable for today's Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) encounter against Bendel Insurance after being handed a one-match suspension.

The experienced forward is serving the ban following his sending-off during Rangers' Matchday 11 fixture against Rivers United last Sunday.

Obaje's dismissal against the Port Harcourt-based side automatically rules him out of the Flying Antelopes' next league assignment, leaving the Enugu club without one of their attacking options for the encounter.

The suspension comes at a crucial point in Rangers' campaign as they prepare to welcome Bendel Insurance in their latest league fixture, with the team expected to adjust their attacking options in the striker's absence.

Obaje has been an important attacking figure for the former Nigerian champions, and his absence will require the technical crew to consider alternative options as they seek a positive result against the Benin City-based side.

Rangers will hope to overcome the setback and secure maximum points against Bendel Insurance despite missing the striker.

Obaje will be eligible to return to action after serving his one-match suspension.
