Updates on injured players

Godfred Yeboah

The ace defender who recovered well from a previous injury a couple of weeks back was substituted in last Sunday’s home tie against Sporting Mirren after 45 minutes.

He featured prominently against Bechem Chelsea but things seem not to have gone well for him last Sunday. It can be confirmed that has successfully undergone laboratory and other checks, and treatment, and he has already join his colleagues in camp.

It is not too clear whether Godfred will be featured in the Liberty-Kotoko match on Sunday.

Ofosu Appiah

The former Heart of Lions defender has practically not been active since the Kotoko-Bechem Chelsea match in the Otumfuo Challenge Cup. The young and robust defender sustained an injury in the said match and needed ample time to recover.

Even after what appeared to be a good recovery, Dr. Kwaku Boateng says Ofosu Appiah needs time to recover.

However, Ofosu Appiah trained on Wednesday and has been consistent since. Should he continue to show good recovery before Saturday, he could be in action after weeks of absence.

Ofosu Amoah

The diminutive right-winger sustained a foot injury before the Kotoko-Heart of Lions which the latter lost by a lone goal.

He was initially ruled out for ten days and later one month – a situation which made him extremely worried.

The good news is that Ofosu Amoah trained actively late last week. Though he reported of malaria earlier this week, he has responded well to treatment and could feature in any of the last round of league matches if his fitness and performance meet Coach Herbert Addo’s standard.

Osei Kwame Junior & Francis Akwaffo   

The experienced left-back, who is indeed of one Kotoko’s longest serving players crashed out of the club’s away duel against Real Tamale United (RTU).

Osei Kwame Junior was in fact one of the three players who sustained injuries in that match, which consequently caused the forced substitutions made by Coach Herbert Addo.

Dr. Kwaku Boateng has told www.asantekotokofc.org that Osei Kwame Junior is yet to recover fully and that his case is much more like Francis Akwaffo who has however started what the doctor termed as “light jogging”.

Richard Manu & Eric Nii Baah

Richard Manu, according to Dr. Kwaku Boateng reported of malaria earlier this week and was treated. The defender who was transferred-listed and recalled later is yet to feature for the club since his return.

Goal keeper Eric Nii Baah on the hand has responded well to treatment since it was last reported that he was down with malaria.
