Dolphins' attacking midfielder, Azeez Shobowale will miss his side's rescheduled Matchday 9 game against ABS on Wednesday at the llorin Township Stadium.
Shobowale is unfit for the encounter against his former team no thanks to severe aching tooth.
The combative playmaker told SuperSport.com that Dolphins will not fall prey to bottom placed ABS.
"ABS are dangerous after pulling a shocking 2-1 away win against Kaduna United and at home, they will want to prove that their victory at Kaduna was not a fluke.
"We've taken a lesson from that encounter and will descend on them with our full weight.
"We're fully prepared for them and we want to assure that there won't be Kaduna United treat for Dolphins tomorrow (Thursday)."
The domestic champions missed their Matchday 12 tie against Niger Tornadoes due to their continental assignment against Sony Ela Nguema of Equatorial Guinea but have garnered 18 points from a maximum of 33.
Shobowale is however dismayed at the missed chance of playing against his former teammates.
"I had looked forward to the game with keen interest and now I won't be in action because of my toothache.
"I'm still hopeful of playing against them in the reverse fixture," he said.
Shobowale is in Lagos receiving treatment.
