Information reaching us confirms that Asante Kotoko’s goalkeepers Frederick Asare and Mohammed Camara will miss the upcoming friendly against DC United in the USA. The two players are unable to join the squad for the October 12, 2024, match due to visa complications, preventing them from traveling with the team to Washington, D.C.
In their place, Asante Kotoko has enlisted the services of Appiah Kubi and Felix Kyei, two goalkeepers from Medeama SC, to bolster their squad for the important international fixture. The match, which will take place at the state-of-the-art Audi Field in Washington, D.C., is part of Kotoko’s effort to expand its global reach and gain international exposure.
The loss of first-choice keepers Asare and Camara is a significant blow to the team, but with the experienced Kubi and Kyei stepping in, the Porcupine Warriors are still hopeful for a strong performance. This game is seen as a great opportunity for both replacements to showcase their talents on an international stage.
Asante Kotoko remains focused on putting up a commendable showing against the Major League Soccer (MLS) side despite the last-minute changes. Fans are eager to see how the team adapts as they take on DC United at one of the most prestigious football venues in the United States.
