Kano Pillars head coach Usman Abdallah has confirmed that Super Eagles stars Ahmed Musa and Shehu Abdullahi have joined the team and are in contention for Sunday’s NPFL match against Sunshine Stars.
Abdallah revealed that both players have been training with the squad for some time.
Ahmed Musa, who has been without a club since leaving Sivasspor, sparked rumors of a return to the Nigerian league last month, hinting at a reunion with Kano Pillars.

“Musa has been training with the team for a while now,” Abdallah said.
Shehu Abdullahi, who left Levski Sofia in 2023, has also been without competitive football but has rejoined Pillars, where he first played in 2012.
While both players’ return has been welcomed, there is uncertainty over whether they were officially registered for the new season, as the NPFL transfer window closed last month.
