Niger Tornadoes top scorer, Azuka Ebinum has said an injury-free season is key for him  the number of goals to score.

Ebinum has raked in five goals in the six-week old elite league, just a goal behind top scorer, Mustapha Babadidi of Gombe United.

Ebinum told SuperSport.com that instead of worrying his head over the number of goals he will score in the season he would rather pray not to cup an injury.

“Injury comes unannounced and can cut short the dream of any player.

“That is why I would rather pray for an injury-free season than to set a mark on the number of goals I will score in the season.

“I will never involve myself in that exercise, I pray to be able to take the chances at scoring goals.

“If I take the chances and end up scoring the highest goals at the end of the season, I will give God the glory,” he said.

Tornadoes will host ABS on Matchday Eight at their Bako Kontagora Stadium, Minna home this weekend, and the former Zamfara United goal king said the important thing is the three points.

“The most important thing is the three points and not who scores.

“One can score and his team still lose, so it is three points that matter and if I end up being the one that scores and we win, then that will be fine with me.

“I am never desperate to score rather for us to win and pocket the maximum points,” he said.

Tornadoes have picked nine points from a possible 18.
