CONFIRMED: Attah in goal, Victor Aiddo and Asante start as Hearts of Oak starting XI to face King Faisal announced

Coach David Ocloo has revealed Hearts of Oak’s starting XI to face King Faisal at the Accra Sports Stadium this evening.

Richard Attah has been named in post for the first time in the ongoing campaign. The goalkeeper starts between the sticks as replacement for injured for Eric Ofori Antwi.

Antwi picked up an injury and was limped off during their game against Tamale City.

The Rainbows have lost each of their last two games in the league, with Bechem United and Tamale City taking the three points at the expense of the 2020/21 champions.

Tonight’s clash will see centre-back pairing from Caleb Amankwah and Addo Sowah. Amankwah Baafi starts from the left-back and Korsah at right.

Alongside Esso in midfield are Linda Mtange and Jeordon Otanga, while Gideon Asante, Victor Aidoo and Isaac Mensah start up front.

Benjamin Yorke, Samuel Inkoom, Francis Adjetey, Awako and Salifu Ibrahim are among the substitutes, with Konadu Yiadom and Obeng Junior ruled out.
