Kotoko Coach Names Strong Starting XI To Face Zesco

Asante Kotoko coach CK Akonnor has handed debut start to Ivorian Dang Zabo Teguy to replace suspended Sogne Yacouba in the must-win final CAF Confederation Cup Group match against ZESCO United in Ndola on Sunday.

The former Manzini FC player has been handed the opportunity to play his first match for the club since signing in January.

Akonnor has also replaced Habib Mohammed with Martin Antwi who started in the 1-1 draw with Al Hilal last week at home.

Daniel Darkwah continues to impress as left back and captain Amos Frimpong will defend on the right side.

The centre back pair of Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Wahab Adams remains unchanged and so is the midfield duo of Umar Bashir, Kwame Bonsu.

Kotoko needs a win to advance from Group C which has Nkana FC and Sudanese side Al Hilal in contention.

Asante Kotoko XI:

Felix Annan- Amos Frimpong, Daniel Darkwah, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Wahab Adams- Habib Mohammed, Umar Bashir, Kwame Bonsu-Emmanuel Gyamfi, Abdul Fatawu Safiu, Dang Zabo Teguy
