Asante Kotoko will gear up for this weekend's opening Premier League campaign with two friendly matches in two days.
The Kumasi-based club will battle Red Bull Academy on Wednesday at Sogakope before engaging second-tier side Pure Joy on Friday at Tema.
"We went back to camp after we beat Hearts quickly and the team will play Red Bull Academy in a friendly and another with Pure Joy on Friday," Kotoko spokesperson Listowell Yesu Bukarson said.
The club want to trim the rough edges and also test their resolve on the astro-turf before Sunday’s opener against the Tema-based side.
Kotoko is aiming to win their 22nd Premier League title.
