Hearts of Oak head coach, Aboubakar Ouattara, has confirmed that his team will be without defender David Oppong Afranie and attacker Kwabena Boateng for their upcoming Week 3 fixture against Bechem United in the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season.
In a pre-match interview with Hearts TV on YouTube, Coach Ouattara shared that while most of his squad is fit, Afranie and Boateng will miss the encounter due to injuries.
However, he expressed optimism that both players are on the road to recovery and should return soon.
"The serious injuries we have are Afranie and Kwabena Boateng. I think Afranie started working yesterday, so we are happy because we thought it was a ligament problem. We can get him back in a few weeks. We can get them all backânot for the next match, but soon," the coach explained.
The crucial match between Hearts of Oak and Bechem United will take place on Sunday, September 22, at 6 p.m. at the Legon Sports Stadium.
Coach Ouattara and his lads are keen on beating Bechem United to amass their first three points of the season, a result that will bring a lot of joy to agitated fans.
