Kasim Mingle unfazed by Razak Simpson absence: “It won’t affect us”

Nations FC head coach Kasim Ocansey Mingle is confident despite Razak Simpson's absence. Simpson, a key defender and captain, will miss the match against Basake Holy Stars. He is participating in the Black Stars 2025 Unity Cup in London.

Simpson is known for his work rate and defensive skills. He has been crucial for Nations FC, helping to shield the defense and start attacks. However, Coach Mingle believes his team can handle this challenge.

“Simpson’s absence is not going to affect us,” Mingle stated. “We have played without him before.” He noted that Simpson missed games after facing Hearts of Oak but returned last Monday.

Mingle emphasized that they are prepared for this situation. “We’ve always adjusted ourselves,” he said. The coach trusts his squad's ability to adapt and thrive.

While Simpson's absence is significant, it allows other players to step up. Nations FC aims to showcase their depth as they pursue the title. This Sunday’s match against Basake Holy Stars will test their resilience.

Currently, Nations FC sits at the top of the league table with 60 points after 32 matches. Coach Mingle’s tactical skills will be crucial under pressure in this upcoming game.
