Enyimba midfielder Eze Ekwutozian says the club is preparing hard ahead of the league return.

In a warm-up match at Enyimba International Stadium, the People's Elephant defeated Heartland 4-0.

Ekwutozian said the training session was intense ahead of the league's restart.

"The training sessions have been intense throughout the week, we really felt it," he told the club's media.

"It hasn't been easy, but it's our job; we're pushing ourselves and getting back in condition before the league returns.

"In all, I think we are on the right track."

Enyimba will face Abia Warriors in an Oriental derby when the league returns next weekend.
