Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club assistant head coach, Abdul Rahim Bashiru, is confident that midfielder Glid Otanga will be available to play Hearts of Oak’s upcoming Ghana Premier League game against Berekum Chelsea.
Hearts have been scheduled to play against Chelsea at the Berekum Golden City Park on Saturday, May 4 in desperate need of a win.
The Phobian club lost 1-0 to Accra Lions on Match Week 28 at the Accra Sports Stadium to miss out on a win in four of its last five games.
23 year old Republic of Congo international midfielder Otanga sustained an injury on the bridge of his nose after getting involved in a collision against Accra Lions.
In his post game interview, Abdul Bashiru, stated that his team was better than Lions despite losing the game and added that Otanga is very likely to be available to play against Chelsea in Berekum. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
