Asante Kotoko centre back, Ofosu Appiah alias Escobar, has told Kotoko Express that his reengagement with his colleagues and the team for that matter at the Adarko Jachie training ground gives him a good feeling.

According to the fine defender, who started training nearly three weeks ago following a disciplinary action taken against him, he is still a strong and tough defender.

Ofosu Appiah, it will be recalled was suspended after breaking a club regulation that bars him from going on radio without explicit permission from management.

His case was further aggravated when he made some spurious allegations against the club in the said radio interview. He was consequently slapped with a one month suspension. Weeks after serving the suspension, Ofosu Appiah certainly does not seem to have lost the strength and performance that once made his the fans’ favourite.

He first performed in the reserve league match between Kotoko and King Faisal a couple of weeks back and last Sunday he also featured prominently in the trial match against New Edubiase United at Bekwai, which Kotoko lost by a lone goal.

Prior to his substitution which was occasioned by a foot injury, Ofosu Appiah had performed well partnering Ohene Brenya at his favourite central defense position.

Escobar says that he feels good to be back. “I am very fine. I have been training but it’s been mainly running and other physical work because of my long absence. I am yet to train properly with the team. All the same, everything is okay and I am happy to be back. I feel good” said the defender.
