Hearts of Oak’s possible line-up for Asante Kotoko clash – Salifu Ibrahim to start

Coach Aboubakar Ouattara will have to rotate his starting XI when they face Asante Kotoko due to last weekend’s abysmal performance against Aduana Stars.

The gaffer is now tasked with masterminding a win at his old ground, having lost their previous encounter at home.

Defeat to the Porcupine Warriors, a side that lost to Berekum Chelsea, would be hugely damaging for Ouattara.

Here’s how the Rainbows could line up for this afternoon’s clash:

Goalkeeper Kwasi Nketiah is likely to keep his place. Thomas Winimi, who impressed in that game against Aduana after coming on as a substitute, could be in the starting XI at the expense of the underperforming Kofi Agbesimah.

As expected, Salifu Ibrahim will receive a starting berth join the midfield alongside Linda Mtange and Salim Adams.

The Phobians attack will be made up of Issah Kukah and Hamza Issah.

BELOW IS HEARTS OF OAK’S PREDICTED LINE-UP:

1. Kwasi Nketiah GK
2. Denis Korsah
3. David Oppong Afrane
4. Thomas Winimi
5. Michael Ampadu
6. Glid Otanga
7. Linda Mtange
8. Salim Adams
9. Hamza Issah
10. Issah Kukah
11. Salifu Ibrahim
