In a significant lift for Medeama FC, winger Nana Kofi Babil has re-entered the fold just ahead of their crucial 2023/24 CAF Champions League face-off against Horoya this upcoming weekend.
Babil had been granted a compassionate leave by the club to attend his late father's funeral, a heartfelt absence that saw him miss the Ghana Premier League match against Aduana FC.
The void he left was palpable in the game, which Medeama lost 2-0, extending the reigning champions' winless streak to two league matches.
Yet, the winger has since reunited with the squad and is now set to journey with them to Guinea for the second leg of the playoff tie in Conakry.
Currently, Medeama holds a promising 3-1 lead from the first leg, infusing confidence as they approach this pivotal fixture.
With Babil's resurgence, the team is poised to clinch a favorable outcome in their pursuit of glory in the CAF Champions League.
The eagerly-anticipated match is slated for Saturday, September 30, a date that Medeama will seize upon as they strive to capitalize on their advantage and progress to the group stage of the competition.
