Asante Kotoko will face a challenging task in their upcoming Matchday 14 encounter against Dreams FC in the Ghana Premier League, set for Saturday at the Tuba Astro Turf in Accra.
The Porcupine Warriors will be without three crucial players, a blow to both their squad depth and tactical flexibility. Top striker Albert Amoah, midfielder Emmanuel Antwi, and defender Patrick Asiedu will all be absent from the matchday squad.
Amoah and Antwi are currently on international duty with the Black Galaxies, as they prepare for the pivotal 2024 CHAN qualifier against Nigeria this Sunday. Both players have been key to Kotoko’s recent success, with Amoah scoring a dramatic injury-time winner in their Super Clash victory over Hearts of Oak last weekend.
Meanwhile, Asiedu will miss the clash due to an accumulation of yellow cards, further depleting Kotoko’s defensive options.
Despite these absences, head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum will be looking to rally his remaining players and build on their recent strong form. Currently sitting sixth in the league standings, Kotoko will aim to secure a positive result against Dreams FC as they continue their pursuit of a top-four finish.
