Ogum names Kotoko’s 19-man squad for Gold Stars showdown; Danlad, Lamptey, Oppong miss out

Asante Kotoko’s head coach, Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, has unveiled a 20-man squad for their highly anticipated Matchday 19 clash against Bibiani Gold Stars this evening.

The Porcupine Warriors are set to lock horns with Bibiani Gold Stars today, Friday, at 6:00 pm local time at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, aiming to bounce back from their recent 1-0 defeat to bottom-placed Heart of Lions.

Sitting at 4th place in the league table with 29 points, Asante Kotoko is determined to secure a victory to boost their title aspirations, currently trailing leaders FC Samartex.

Under Ogum’s guidance, Asante Kotoko has shown resilience, winning three, drawing one, and losing one of their last five games. Impressively, they have suffered only one loss in eight home games, amassing 15 points while scoring 6 goals and conceding just 3.

However, Asante Kotoko will be without key players like captain Danlad Ibrahim, Isaac Oppong, Nicholas Mensah, Richard Lamptey, and others for this crucial encounter.
