Katsina United will miss the services of midfielder Micheal Ibe and Sunday Akinmoladun in their matchday 24 fixture against Heartland.
Ibe is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards in the Nigeria Premier Football League this season while Akinmoladun picked up a straight red card against Kwara United in Ilorin.
Akinmoladun is expected to serve a three-match ban following his being sent off from the pitch.
Katsina United will hope to continue with their impressive start to the second half of the season at the Awka City Stadium.
The Chanji Boys have recorded two wins, one draw and one defeat since the start of the second stanza.
Katsina United occupy the seventh position on the league table after 23 games.
