Asante Kotoko midfielder Baba Yahaya is set to miss the club’s crucial matchday four encounter against Berekum Chelsea after sustaining a late injury.
The Porcupine Warriors are scheduled to face Chelsea at the Golden City Park on Sunday, September 28, 2024.
Baba Yahaya, who had been a key figure in Kotoko's midfield, reported an accident to the club’s medical team earlier today. According to his account, the player accidentally stepped into a concealed hole near his residence while taking a morning walk, resulting in a sprained ankle.
The club's medical team will conduct further assessments later today to evaluate the severity of his injury. In the meantime, youth prospect Jordan Amissah has been called up to fill Yahaya’s spot in the squad for the Berekum trip.
Kotoko, who have accumulated four points from their opening two games, will be looking to extend their unbeaten run against a Berekum Chelsea side that has only suffered two home defeats to the Porcupines.
