Asante Kotoko deputy coach, Orlando Wellington has conceded that his team “miss” Frank Etouga Mbella after losing 1-0 to Accra Hearts of Oak on Sunday.
Mbella joined the Ghanaian champions in 2021, scoring a remarkable 21 league goals in one season for the Reds before moving to Egypt at the end of the season.
The Porcupine Warriors have struggled to score in their last five away games.
After beating Bechem United in Kumasi on Wednesday, they were motivated to beat Hearts of Oak in Accra but Konadu Yiadom’s second half goal proved the difference as the Phobians snatched a much-needed win.
While reacting to the team’s striking problems, Coach Wellington described Kotoko’s ex-forward Frank Etouga Mbella as goal specialist during a post match conference.
“Why not? We have missed him because he was the goal king in the team. We have missed him,” Coach Wellington Said.
Kotoko are currently fourth in the BetPawa Premier League, five points off leaders Aduana Stars.
