Asante Kotoko will face a major challenge as they prepare to take on Dreams FC in a Matchday 14 encounter of the Ghana Premier League at the Tuba Astro Turf in Accra on Saturday.
The Porcupine Warriors will be without four key players, significantly impacting their squad depth and tactical options.
Top striker Albert Amoah, midfielder Emmanuel Antwi, winger Saaka Dauda, and defender Patrick Asiedu will all be unavailable for selection.
Amoah, Antwi, and Saaka are currently on national duty with the Black Galaxies, preparing for their crucial 2024 CHAN qualifier against Nigeria, scheduled for Sunday.
The trio has been instrumental in Kotoko’s recent form, with Amoah notably scoring the dramatic late winner in their Super Clash victory over Hearts of Oak last weekend.
Meanwhile, defender Patrick Asiedu will miss the game due to card accumulations, further limiting Kotoko’s defensive options.
Despite the absences, head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum will look to rally his remaining players and build on their recent resurgence in the league.
Kotoko, currently sixth on the league table, will aim to secure a positive result against Dreams FC as they push to close the gap on the top positions.
