Check out Asante Kotoko’s full squad list for the pre-season tour in Sudan; Etouga, Mfegue & 8 others excluded

Asante Kotoko have arrived in Sudan for the second phase of their pre-season ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The reigning Ghanaian champions departed the West African country on Sunday afternoon to the North African country with a 22-man squad.

According to the club, Cameroon duo Georges Mfegue Omgba and Franck Mbella Etouga who was taken to hospital on Friday due to his ill health were left out of the travelling squad list to the North African country.

Also, Patrick Asmah, Charles Owusu, Maxwell Agyemang and striker Samuel Boateng were all excluded from the list despite recovering from injuries following caution from the club’s medical team.

Goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad is on international duty with the Black Galaxies in Austria. 

Again, youngster Ibrahim Osman who returned from a season-long loan stint at King Faisal as well as Justice Blay and Mohammed Sheriff – who got injured in the course of last season – could not make the trip.

However, midfielder Richmond Lamptey and Ismail Ganiyu did not travel with the team to Sudan earlier on Sunday due their traveling documents. The duo are expected to join the team later in Sudan.

Kotoko are expected to spend 10 days for the pre-season in Sudan and will be playing a high-profile friendly game against Sudanese giants Al Hilal SC.

They were billed to travel to Turkey for the pre-season exercise but it fell through due to issue of delays in visa acquisition hence the decision to move to Sudan.
