"This is an important game for us and we're determined to win.
"It's important I'm in the best possible shape for this game against my former club.
"This morning I went to see the doctor and the club is doing everything possible to ensure I'm fit and ready for the match."
The former Ashantigold and Great Olympics combative enforcer joined the Phobians on a three-year deal in November last year.
