GHANA’s sole continental campaigners, Kumasi Asante Kotoko were expected to leave Accra last night for Dakar, Senegal for the first leg of their CAF Champions league preliminary round clash with ASC Linguare.
The 26 man contingent, including 18 players was schedule to leave at 11: 30 pm last night for Saturday’s encounter.
The playing squad included, goal keepers Soulama Abudullai and Issac Amoako, defenders Gideon Baah, Prince Boateng, Michael Ofosu Appiah, Prince Anokye and kabiru Moro.
Others travelling with the team were Nii Adjei, Iddrisu Yahaya, Jordan Opoku, Baffour Gyan, Edward Affum, Louis Agyemang, Francis Coffie and Alex Asamoah.
Official sources said Kotoko would have their first training session this afternoon under the guidance of Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin after their expected arrival at dawn today.
Meawhile, Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their build up on Sunday’s match were shocked by a 1-0 by Tema based division one side Emirates SC at the Tema Sports Stadium.
The porcupine warriors gave a false impression about themselves in the first 20minutes but fizzled out after the initial dominance raising concerns about the team’s readiness for the task ahead.
Ghana’s former international star, Baffour Gyan who struggle throughout the match was sent off in the 51st minute for a violent attack on Joel Arthur as nine other players were also booked by the referee.
