Karim Zito: Asante Kotoko coach cries over absence of key players for Medeama SC clash

Asante Kotoko's interim coach, Abdul Karim Zito, is concerned.

Key players will miss the weekend match against Medeama SC.

The game takes place at Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

Kotoko is chasing the title in the Ghana Premier League.

Zito worries about four key players being unavailable for this match.

Three players are out due to yellow card accumulation.

Striker Kwame Opoku is away on national duty with the Black Stars.

In a pre-game interview, Zito expressed his disappointment.

This situation arose after Kotoko's goalless draw with Bibiani Gold Stars.

Kotoko received five yellow cards during that match.

Defender Samba (O’Neil) Gilbani and captain Justice Blay will also miss the game.

Midfielder Dauda Saaka is another player sidelined by yellow cards.

Zito voiced his dissatisfaction ahead of this crucial match.

He said, “I’m not losing only Kwame Opoku...”

He complained to the referee about too many yellow cards issued.

“Out of that game, three of my regular players aren’t playing,” he added.

Asante Kotoko currently sits third in the league table with 55 points.

They hope to secure a win over Medeama SC to keep their title hopes alive.
