Ahead of Monday’s Super Clash with Hearts of Oak, the players of Asante Kotoko have donated an amount of GHȼ200 to their injured colleague, Jackson Owusu at his residence in Kumasi.
The money was raised from the players’ individual contributions from the money given them by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II during their recent visit to the Manhyia Palace.
It will be recalled that the Kotoko Life Patron engaged the players individually at the inner chamber of his Palace following a faltering start to the 2015/2016 campaign which resulted in suspension of head coach David Duncan after the defeat to Aduana Stars.
After the meeting, each player received an amount of GHȼ400 from Otumfour as part of his effort to unravel the reasons for the team’s poor results.
Jackson Owusu, who has been ruled out of action for the entire season, missed out on the visit but skipper of the side, Amos Frimpong said the players could not enjoy the Asantehene’s benevolence alone hence their decision to give him a part of it.
“Jackson Owusu is a colleague who could not be part of that rare visit and meeting. He would have gone there with us if not for the fact that he is injured. We gave him the money so he would feel like he went with us. This is because though he is not with us in person, we feel his presence around us wherever we go or play” the captain said after the donation.
