Head coach, Seydou Zerbo insists that Asante Kotoko is big club as he plays down Franck Mbella Etouga's importance to the side.
Franck Mbella Etouga won't be available for Asante Kotoko clash with RC Kadiogo.
The Cameronian striker missed the 1st leg in Benin with reports of a move to Egyptian side, Al Masry imminent.
Asante Kotoko haven't officially communicated about the reason behind his absence, but Communications Director, David Obeng Nyarko revealed that he will not be available for the return fixture this weekend.
Asante Kotoko will host RC Kadiogo at the Baba Yara stadium on Sunday.
Seydou Zerbo believes that if Franck Mbella isn't around, 'big club' Asante Kotoko will move on.
“Asante Kotoko is a big club and if Mbella isn’t around,that doesn’t mean the club won’t be there," he said at the pre-match today.
" I heard he’s is an important player but I didn’t work with him but I believe those who won in Benin can equally step up for the club," he added.
