Asante Kotoko assistant coach Prince Yaw Owusu has confirmed that forward Kwame Opoku will not be fit in time for the highly anticipated Super Clash against Hearts of Oak.
Speaking after Kotoko’s impressive 4-2 victory over Karela United, Coach Owusu offered an honest assessment of the striker’s recovery status.
“To be honest with you, Sunday is too early for him, Kwame Opoku. We just have to prepare and prepare him well so that when he comes back, he comes to stay.”
The influential forward has been sidelined with an injury, and despite hopes from the fans for his early return, the technical team is prioritizing his long-term fitness over a rushed comeback.
Kotoko will visit their fierce rivals on Sunday, November 9, 2025.
The Reds are gearing up for the crucial match against Hearts of Oak, who are unbeaten this season.
However, the Porcupine Warriors will look to build on their recent form, including the standout performances against Karela, as they aim to remain unbeaten and close the gap at the top of the table.
