Kotoko’s squad vs. GoldStars clash released – Key weapon misses the trip

Title contenders, Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, will be without key player Kwame Poku against Gold Stars on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors make the trip to Dun’s Park as they aim to close the gap between themselves and keep their hope of winning the title alive.

Coach Abdul Karim Zito’s side are winless in their last 8 away games following their goalless draw with Hearts of Oak in Accra.

However, the Reds did beat Dreams FC 4 – 1 at home last week, leaving them 4th on the league table with 54 points – 3 points behind leaders Nations FC.

Ghanasportspage.com can confirm that only one change has been made from the squad that humbled Dreams FC for Sunday’s crucial game.

Vitus Avorka joins the team as a replacement for Kwame Poku, who is set to join the Black Stars for the upcoming Unity Cup in the UK.

The available squad features a balanced mix of youthful promise and experienced campaigners, including the returning Lord Amoah, defensive stalwart Joseph Ablorh, midfield enforcer Justice Blay, and prolific forward Albert Amoah, who is expected to spearhead the attack.

The Porcupine Warriors are aiming for maximum points as they continue their push for the league title and a potential return to continental football.

A win on Sunday would not only solidify their title ambitions but also add momentum ahead of the MTN FA Cup final, as the club chases a domestic double this season.
