Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko have to get back to winning ways to keep their title quest alive against tough travellers Dreams FC on Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors have managed only three points in their last five matches.

Central midfielder Stephen Nyarko returns to the team.

Lethal striker Dauda Mohamed is also available for selection. He was rested against New Edubiase United last two weeks.

First choice goalkeeper Ernest Sowah and defensive midfielder Theophilous Nyame are very doubtful ahead of Sunday's big game.

The premiership newbies could move one point behind league leaders Hearts of Oak with a win over Asante Kotoko.

They have been able to record four away wins in the season.

Left back Emmanuel Eyison has recovered fully and is available for selection for Sunday's crucial game.

Abeiku Ainoonson could face former side Asante Kotoko this Sunday if selected by head coach CK Akonnor.

He joined the newcomers during the second transfer window after Asante Kotoko rejected his comeback from Sudanese giants Al Hilal Omdurman.
