Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak are currently at the Kotoka International Airport and are set to leave the shores of the country to Mali for their CAF Confederations Cup game against Real Bamako this weekend.
The Phobians had a walkover in the first preliminary round and are currently coming up against the Black and Whites in the second phase after edging out Burkinabe side AS Douanes.
David Ocloo was named the club's stop-gap coach following the sacking of Samuel Boadu and his technical team after Hearts of Oak's winless start in the Ghana Premier League.
Central African Republic international Yassan Ouatching has recovered from his injury to be part of the traveling squad while Salifu Ibrahim sits after failing to pass a late fitness test. Mercurial midfielder Eric Esso has also been ruled out of the trip.
Youngsters Gideon Asante and Rashid Okine have been handed places in the 22-man squad list with newly-signed midfielder Prince Nana Kwasi Darmang.
Hearts of Oak's flight is expected to move before 10am local time, transit at Togo and then proceed to Mali's capital Bamako for the epic clash coming up.
