Asante Kotoko will be without key midfielder Emmanuel Antwi when they take on Dreams FC in a crucial matchday 31 fixture of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The 25-year-old midfielder, who joined the Porcupine Warriors at the start of the season from Great Olympics, has been ruled out due to an ankle injury. Antwi has been a consistent performer for Kotoko this campaign, making 23 league appearances and scoring once. His absence comes as a blow to the club as they push for a strong finish to the season.
Kotoko, currently fourth on the league table with 51 points, are keen to maintain momentum in the top four race. However, they’ll have to find a way past a resilient Dreams FC side without their influential midfield anchor.
The match adds an extra layer of intrigue as Dreams FC head coach Karim Zito returns to face his former side. His team currently sits 9th on the table with 43 points from 30 matches and are eyeing a top-half finish with just a few games remaining.
With both teams eager for maximum points, the clash promises to deliver a fiercely contested battle in Kumasi.
