Hearts coach sure of getting suitable replacements for missing quartet in Djoliba clash

Hearts of Oak coach Herbert Addo is confident of finding suitable replacements for four vacancies in his team for the CAF Confederation Cup match against AC Djoliba on Sunday.

Robin Gnagne, Isaac Oduro, Joseph Owusu-Bempah and Mutawakilu Seidu are all unavailable for the Phobians for the return leg match at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Hearts carry a healthy 2-1 advantage going into their home fixture against the Malian club and are overwhelming favourites to sail through.

But the absence of this four players pose a problem for coach Herbert Addo who is sure of finding suitable replacements.

“It is true that Robin Gnagne will be missing this match but there are three others who will be missing,” he said.

“Isaac Oduro, Owusu Bempah and Mutawakilu Seidu will all be missing so we have four vacancies to fill.

“Isaac Oduro has two yellow cards and Bempah and Mutawakilu are on national team assignment.

“But I am confident we can find suitable replacements for them.

“People always say that coach Addo doesn’t have a starting eleven but this is one of the reasons why.

“Four players are missing and we must replace them.”

Hearts of Oak are the only Ghanaian club left in African Inter-Club Competition this season.
