Albert Eonde earns first start, Osei Asibey returns in defence as Martin Koopman announces Hearts of Oak’s starting XI for Legon Cities clash

Glorious Accra Hearts of Oak have announced their starting lineup for this afternoon’s meeting with Legon Cities.

Having held to a golless draw with Hearts of Lions, Martin Koopman and his boys will aim to claim vital win for the celebration of their anniversary.

In today’s set-up, Kashala Ramos has been dropped to the bench with Albert Eonde starting for the first time this season.

In defence, Martin Karikari has been replaced by former Eleven Wonders defender Kelvin Osei Asibey, who missed their outstanding game against Heart of Lions in Hohoe.

Salifu Ibrahim, Linda Mtange and Glid Otanga will continue their partnership in midfield.
