Asante Kotoko Coach Ogum Reveals 20-Man Squad for Crucial Match Against Legon Cities
Asante Kotoko head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has named his 20-man squad for an important Ghana Premier League match against Legon Cities. Scheduled for Wednesday, October 30, at the University of Ghana Stadium, this highly anticipated clash comes after a rescheduling due to Kotoko’s recent tour in the United States.
Having started the season strongly, Kotoko is eager to build on their momentum, and Coach Ogum's squad selection reflects a strategic blend of experience and youth. The team's setup indicates a calculated approach to maintaining their form, with players selected to balance defense, midfield control, and a dynamic offensive strategy.
The squad’s goalkeeping duties will be contested between Camara Mohammed and Frederick Asare, both seasoned keepers who bring confidence to the team’s defensive line. Defensively, Kotoko’s lineup includes Joseph Ablorh, Justice Blay, Henry Ansu, Lord Amoah, Patrick Asiedu, and Gilbani Samba O’Neil, all tasked with providing a solid barrier against Legon Cities' attack. This mix of skilled defenders aims to ensure stability at the back, a crucial element for maintaining control in what is expected to be a competitive game.
In midfield, Ogum has selected Emmanuel Kotei and Godfred Kodua as core players responsible for controlling the pace and breaking up opposition play. Kotei and Kodua are supported by Kyei Dwamena Michael and Emmanuel Antwi, whose versatility adds depth to Kotoko’s options in the middle of the pitch. Their ability to adapt will be pivotal in maintaining pressure on Legon Cities and ensuring Kotoko can sustain offensive and defensive transitions smoothly.
Leading Kotoko’s attack are Peter Amidu Acquah, Wisdom Fernando Bassey, and Saaka Dauda, who collectively bring speed, creativity, and goal-scoring potential. These forwards are expected to apply pressure on Legon Cities’ defense with their agility and precise ball control, forming the team's primary goal threats.
Also on the squad list are Albert Amoah, Baba Yahaya, and Elvis Kyei Baffour, players whose flexibility and commitment provide valuable depth in midfield and attack. Their presence enhances Kotoko’s ability to respond dynamically, allowing Ogum to adjust tactics as needed during the game.
Asante Kotoko’s fans are optimistic about their team's chances, encouraged by Ogum's balanced selection and the recent strong performances. A win against Legon Cities could strengthen Kotoko's position in the league and boost their confidence for the season ahead. With both teams set to battle it out for supremacy, the game promises to be an exciting encounter in the Ghana Premier League.
