The country’s football association has rescheduled the Super Clash between the Phobians and Porcupine Warriors to an unknown date due to the former’s participation in Caf inter-club competition

Ghana Football Association has postponed the Premier League matchday seven fixture between Heats of Oak and Asante Kotoko to an indefinite date, AshesGyamera.com can confirm.

The Phobians were scheduled to play Kotoko on December 12 at the Accra Sports Stadium but they wrote a letter to Ghana FA to postpone due to their involvement in Caf inter-club competition.

The Phobians are currently participating in Caf Confederation and will take on Algerian side JS Saoura in the second leg of the play-offs for a place in the group stage.

They head into the game with a 2-0 advantage and would be hoping to hold on to it to book their place in the group stage for the first time in almost a decade.

“We leave Algeria on Monday, December 6 and arrive in Ghana four days later so we wrote a letter to Ghana FA for postponement and they have agreed,” a source close to the club told AshesGyamera.com.

“We can’t use three or four days to recover from a such a hectic trip and play such a crucial game. Remember that we are not boarding a direct flight from Ghana to Algeria. Rather, we will be making a transit before arriving in Algiers and then take another flight to the match venue.

“This means that we will be stressed up and therefore need some time to cool off and recover fully for the games ahead,” the source added.

Hearts had their matchday five fixture against Berekum Chelsea postponed since they were playing Souara in the Confederation Cup.

They will also have their game against Medeama which was initially scheduled to take place this weekend in Tarkwa postponed as they will be away in Algeria.

This means that Hearts will have three outstanding games in the league and sit at the bottom of the league log with just three points after four games.
