Wa All Stars Coach Nuru Mohammed remains cautious ahead of the weekend's league clash with Hearts of Oak.

The Blues host third place Hearts at the Wa Park on Sunday and despite having a good record against the Accra-based club, Mohammed insists records are just for the books and is expecting a stiff opposition from the visitors.

"It is true we have a good record against Hearts at home but records can always be broken," he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

"Hearts' away record this season have been very good so we expect a very tough match against them on Sunday."

Coach Mohammed however bemoaned injuries to key players Sarfo Gyamfi and Seydou Zida and says they have their work cut-out though hopeful of getting adequate replacements.

"For a club small as ours we don't have the luxury of a big squad and therefore injuries to any of our players become very crucial much less key ones.

"It is going to be difficult to replace the injured ones who are definitely out of Sunday's game but we hope the replacements step up to the plate and deliver to satisfaction," he added.

All Stars will leap-frog their opponents and also stand the chance of toppling leaders Asante Kotoko off the league's summit with the win which makes the game even more poised and nicely set up for the neutrals.
