The Porcupine Warriors gaffer has admitted that he is worried by his players recurring injury situations ahead of the two most important games of the campaign
Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum Narteh says he is worried by his side’s niggling injury situations after they defeated WAFA 1-0 on matchday ten of Ghana Premier League.
Kotoko went into the game without Mudasiru Salifu, Maxwell Agyemang, Isaac Oppong, Samuel Boateng and Christopher Nettey who were all ruled out due to ill health.
Meanwhile, skipper Abdul Ganiu Ismail did not play a part of the game due to suspension.
“The injury situation at Kotoko is alarming, almost all my starters are injured. Agyemang, Ganiu, Mudasiru, Oppong, Boateng, Nettey, and others,” Ogum said after the game.
“It hurts and it’s not helping matters but it won’t help to keep complaining. For example, we got a maximum of three points today.
“Is that not what’s more important? I am okay, the main reason for playing a league match is to get three points and Kotoko had it against Wafa.
“We’re hoping that they will recover on time to help us in the subsequent games. We have to be ready for the FA Cup [against King Faisal] and league game [against Aduana Stars] in Dormaa Ahenkro,” he added.
With Aduana tied on the same points with Kotoko on the log, the game in Dormaa promises to be very crucial as it may go a long way to play a role in who wins the league title at the end of the season.
