Bendel Insurance have revealed that the absence of the duo of Sunday Anyanwu and Divine Nwachukwu contributed to their defeat against Akwa United.

The Benin Arsenals disclosed this on their X handle.

Bendel Insurance lost 3-1 to Akwa United at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Wednesday.

Midfielder Nwachukwu and defender Anyanwu missed the encounter due to injury.

Both players have been impressive for Bendel Insurance this season.

“Not the result we desired but will surely bounce back as we go back home to prepare for Doma United,” the club stated.

“We greatly missed the services of our defence Marshall Sunday Anyanwu and midfield super star Divine. Adaaa… Bendel..”

Bendel Insurance dropped down to ninth position on the NPFL table following the disappointing defeat.
