Head coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Johnson Smith has named his starting eleven to face Ebusua Dwarfs this afternoon.
The match is a pre-season friendly game expected to hand both teams the opportunity of assessing the strength of their squad and possibly decide on bringing in reinforcement if required.
In the absence of unfit Felix Annan, Osei Kwame has been given the starting role to keep the post with the protection of a back four made up of Samuel Frimpong, Patrick Yeboah, Wahab Adams, and Empem Dacosta.
Justice Blay as expected is handed a midfield role with Emmanuel Frimpong operating from the flanks.
Burkinabe danger man Sogne Yacouba is the man up front and will be hoping to get a goal to boost his confidence ahead of the start of the 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season.
