The Porcupine Warriors boss has announced the squad whom he will rely on for victory against Bechem United on Sunday
Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Ogum Narteh has announced a 20-man squad to be used for Ghana Premier League top of the table clash against Bechem United on Sunday.
The squad is made up of two goalkeepers including deputy captain Razak Abalora and Kwame Baah.
Also, Cameroonian import George Mfegue Rodrigues has been called up to the team and could make his debut for the club after sealing a three-year deal last month.
Interestingly, only five players out of the squad – Ismail Abdul Ganiu, Imoro Ibrahim, Mudasiru Salifu, Kwame Baah, Christopher Nettey- have played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Asante Kotoko before and this game would be the biggest test for the fifteen remaining players.
Although, players like Fabio Gama, Yussif Mubarik, Patrick Asmah and Razak Abalora joined the club last season, however, they couldn’t get the opportunity to play in Kumasi since the stadium was closed down for renovations in March, 2020.
The rest including Clinton Opoku, Isaac Oppong, Sheriff Mohammed, Dickson Afoakwa and Richard Boadu ‘Agadas’ only joined the club few weeks ago.
Kotoko come into the game on the back of a 3-1 away win over Dreams FC in Accra last weekend while Bechem also hammered Medeama 4-0 at home on opening day.
The game will serve as a home coming to players like Augustine Okrah, Emmanuel Asante and Latif Anabila who at one point in their careers were representing Asante Kotoko.
Okrah, who won Ghana Premier League topscorer and Best Player awards with Bechem United in 2013/14 season joined the club in a one-year deal.
He was on target on his second debut for the club as they hammered Medeama 4-0 at the Fosu Gyeabour Park last weekend.
