Abdul Wahab Yahaya has completed his move to New Edubiase United during the second transfer window despite being with the club throughout the first round. He could make his debut on Sunday.

They host Algerian side MO Bejaia next Wednesday at the Essipong stadium.

Centre back Daniel Amoah and right back Samuel Adade returns to the squad for Sunday's visit to Obuasi. Daniel Amoah missed their continental clash through suspension whilst a slight injury ruled out Samuel Adade.
