Hearts of Oak missing services of six players ahead of Elmina Sharks visit

Elmina Sharks will welcome Accra Hearts of Oak to the Nduom Sports Stadium on Sunday evening on matchday 8 of the Ghana Premier League.

However, the Phobians will enter into this tie with several injury concerns, having lost six of their key players.

Midfield trio Emmanuel Nettey, Abdul Aziz Nurudeen, and Nigerien international Abdoulrahmane Mamane Lawali are out of the fixture with respective injuries.

The Accra giants will also make the trip to Elmina without forwards Michelle Sarpong, Kojo Obeng Jnr. and Isaac Mensah who are also nursing injuries.

Hearts coach, Kosta Papic will be counting on Victor Aidoo to lead the attack against the Sharks.

Victor Aidoo on his debut for Hearts of Oak bagged two goals as the Phobians defeated Bechem United 6-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium to end their unbeaten run.

The Rainbow club is currently lying 5th on the league standings, having won three games, drew two, and lost two in the seven games played so far.

A win for them over the Botwekumba side on Sunday will see the Phobians at the top of the table, tied on 14 points with Bechem United and Karela FC.
