Ghanaian giants, Hearts of Oak must negotiate for points without influential midfielder Sulley Muntari against Aduana Stars on Sunday.
The 37-year-old has been outstanding after making a return to the Ghana Premier League to join Hearts of Oak.
He has scored one out of the 5 games he has played so far in the domestic top-flight.
Muntari now has two goal contributions since joining the reigning Ghanaian champions last month. He registered an assist two weeks ago in the 1-1 draw against Legon Cities.
Ahead of their much-anticipated clash, Footballghana.com has learnt Muntari did not make the Phobians trip to Dormaa for their matchday 20 fixture.
The rainbow boys departed Accra for Dormaa on Friday morning without the experienced midfielder after asking coach Samuel Boadu to exclude him from the game due to the distance from Accra to the Ahafo Region.
Hearts of Oak currently sit 5th position on the league table with 29 points.
