Coach Seydou Zerbo has handed Mohammed Alhassan his first start in Kotoko’s line-up as they face Nsoatreman FC on week 18 of the BetPawa Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors head into this afternoon’s Premier League clash aiming to get back to winning ways.
Last weekend’s away defeat to Dreams FC was a tough one to stomach and it means Kotoko are winless in their last six away games.
The players and their gaffer will be desperate to break this deadlock today.
And it is the time for Coach Zerbo’s side to find another gear, having named Mohammed Alhassan in set-up.
Kotoko and Nsoatreman last met in the Premier League on week 1, with the Porcupine Warriors snatching a 2-1 victory.
In today’s game, the pressure will be on Steven Mukwala and Kotoko’s attacking department to deliver.
Frederick Asare will start in goal ahead of Danlad Ibrahim, who was in action when the team lost 2-0 to Dreams FC.
Kotoko will move back to the second position when they beat the home side this afternoon.
