Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko's chances of finishing in the Top 4 in the Ghana Premier League this season could take a huge twist depending on the results of Medeama SC and Hearts of Oak matches on Sunday.

They host West African Football Academy in their last match of the season at the Baba Yara stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors moved out of the top four zone after losing 5-3 to regional rivals Ashanti Gold SC in midweek.

Dauda Mohamed is set to miss the last game of the season through sickness.

He has missed the last two premier league games against Medeama SC and Ashanti Gold SC.

Samuel Kyere, Theophilous Nyame, Atta Kusi, Emmanuel Asante, Eric Ofori Antwi and Ahmed Adams have their salaries deducted due to indiscipline reasons ahead of the game.

West African Football Academy hope to end their season on the high with their first away win of this term with a victory over the Porcupine Warriors on Sunday.

They can leapfrog Asante Kotoko to take up the fifth position with a win.

The Academy boys are lying 6th on the log with just a point behind the Fabulous club.

Umar Bashiru has failed to recover from a knee injury which has kept him out of most of the league games this season.

He misses the trip to Kumasi.

Winger and captain Martin Antwi has missed all last five matches of WAFA SC in the Ghana Premier League.

He is very doubtful for Sunday's final league fixture.
