Following an exhausting campaign, Enyimba have taken a week off.
Finidi George, the nine-time Nigeria Premier League champions’ coach, told newsmen that it is critical for his players to regain their energy.
The former Super Eagles midfielder believes the break will help his players perform better.
“My players are yearning for rest after a hectic Nigeria Premier League season,” he told newsmen in Eket.
“The break has been imminent, but because of the Naija Super Eight playoffs, the players had to stay put. A week break is something for the players to refuel them for the task ahead.”
Enyimba will compete in the Naija Super 8 tournament in Lagos from July 7 to 16.
