Head Coach for Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Kjetil Zachariassen has named a strong starting lineup to face Kano Pillars in the second leg of the first round of the CAF Champions League.
Though the team is made up of quality players capable of getting the job done, the gaffer has surprisingly dropped new Ugandan forward George Abege to the substitute bench.
The lanky striker has been replaced by Guinean attacker Naby Keita who has fully recovered from injury.
Midfield pair of Emmanuel Agyemang Badu and Patrick Yeboah have all been given starts as they Porcupine Warriors target overturning a 3-2 deficit from the first leg.
Asante Kotoko XI:
Felix Annan, Empem Dacosta, Patrick Yeboah, Mohammed Habib, Emmanuel Agyeman Badu, Justice Blay, Samuel Frimpong, Kelvin Andoh, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Naby Keita, Richard Arthur
SUBS: Kwame Baah, Evans, Sefa, Antwi, Didi, Abege, Asiamah
