Asante Kotoko are gearing up to face Nsoatreman Football Club at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday evening, aiming to bounce back from back-to-back home defeats.
The Porcupines head into matchday 25 after securing a valuable point on the road against Bechem United last Saturday, putting an end to their recent losing streak.
With several key players returning to the squad after recent absences, head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum and the technical staff are working diligently to prepare the team mentally and physically for the upcoming clash against Nsoatreman.
Reflecting on their previous encounter with Nsoatreman, Kotoko suffered a 1-0 defeat, but Ogum and his players are determined to redeem themselves, especially after securing a victory over them in February, coming from behind to win 2-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium in the J.A. Kufour Cup.
While Kotoko look to improve their home form, having collected just 18 points from 11 games, Nsoatreman has amassed 11 points from 12 away fixtures this season.
As they brace for a challenging battle against their former coach and club legend Maxwell Konadu, here's the latest team news:
- Nicholas Osei-Bonsu has recovered from injury and rejoined training.
- Eric Serge Zeze, Julius Ofori Ziggy, Peter Acquah Amidu, and Bernard Somuah are undergoing further assessments by the medical team after returning to group training.
- Michael Kyei Dwamena, Frederick Asare, and defender Sherif Mohammed are progressing well in their recovery through gym sessions and individual training.
- Richmond Lamptey remains sidelined with a long-term injury, while John Tedeku is yet to resume training after limping off in the previous match.
- Midfielder Sherif Mohammed continues his recovery journey following a successful surgery.
