Eonde starts, Salifu benched as David Ocloo names Hearts of Oak starting XI for Kotoku Royals test

The BetPawa Premier League matchday 22 will see Hearts of Oak face off against Kotoku Royals at the Accra Sports Stadium this afternoon, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 pm.

Assistant coach David Ocloo will field his strongest squad for the game, despite some important absentees such as Konadu Yiadom and Gladson Awako.

For the match against the struggling Royals, Ocloo has made two changes to his Hearts of Oak side from the previous game against Bibiani Gold Stars.

Eric Ofori Antwi will be replaced by Richmond Ayi in goal, while Zakaria Yakubu will join Caleb Amankwaa and Rashid Okine in defense, as Konadu Yiadom is unavailable due to yellow card accumulation.

In midfield, the coach has opted for the same setup of Glid Otanga, Linda Mtange, and Eric Esso, while Benjamin York, Albert Diego Dieudonne Eonde, and Kwadwo Obeng Junior will form the attack.
