Hearts of Oak are expected to arrive in Ghana on Sunday following their 3-0 loss to AS Real Bamako in the second round of the CAF Confederation Cup qualifiers in Mali on Saturday.
The Phobians will commence preparations once they touch down in the country as they look to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the first leg tie on Sunday, October 16 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

David Ocloo was in the dugout for the first time as interim coach of the club since he was appointed last week but he failed to inspire his side to a win at Stade du 26 Mars.
Real Bamako took the lead after 11 minutes, added a second in the 30th minute, and sealed the victory in the 75th minute.
Hearts of Oak’s attack failed to put the Malians to the test.
The winner of the tie will move to the play-off round where they will face one of the 16 losers from the CAF Champions League second round.
Hearts of Oak are Ghana’s sole representative in Africa following Asante Kotoko’s early exit from the CAF Champions League.
