Published on: 23 September 2020

Hearts of Oak Captain Fatawu Mohammed has expressed readiness for the new Ghana Premier League season after the green light was given for the league to return.

The Ghana Premier League returns on Friday October 30th, as stated by President of the country, Nana Akufo Addo in his latest address on ways to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The President eased restrictions on all contact sports, allowing Premier League clubs to resume training ahead of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

According to the right-back, he was elated after government lifted the ban on football and has indicated players have been starved for long and are eager to return to action.

“We welcome this news and, it is now time for us to get down to work as we look forward to the coming season with high hopes”, he told Hearts media.

“We look forward to the start of preseason and, we are determined to go the extra mile to prepare ourselves well enough for the start of the new campaign”, he added.

“As soldiers for the club, we are always on the standby for battle and, we are just waiting for the announcement for the start of our preseason programme”, Fatawu stated.

“Next season will be a good one for us if we prepare well for it, and, we are hopeful of a good preseason campaign to take us into the new season”, Fatawu said.

Meanwhile, the club is yet to announce date for the start of the preseason campaign.

He has therefore called on the fans to rally behind the team going into the new season.
