Owusu Bempah Back In Hearts Training

Accra Hearts of Oak defender and deputy captain, Owusu Bempah is back in training after sitting out their last Ghana Premier League (GPL) game against Berekum Chelsea.

Bempah did not last the entire duration of Hearts‘ game against Kumasi Asante Kotoko played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Match-Day 10, and, was replaced early in the first half by Kennedy Appiah after he picked up an ankle injury.

The defender was on a short injury absence with a fractured ankle, but resumed training last Friday.

Initially it was feared the defender would miss the rest of the first round of the 2016 GPL campaign, but it now remains to be seen if he will play a part in Coach Keni’s team in the remaining four matches before the first round ends.

It is not likely though that Bempah could be back to action on Wednesday against Hasaacas as the game may come too early for him in terms of fitness.

However, it marks further good news for Hearts, who announced that many more of their injured players have returned to training.

“Games with Kotoko are always a difficult and tough but not impossible to win, and I can tell you that we are determined to come out with the three points,” he stressed, insisting further that the support of the fans can help turn the game in their favour.

“I will urge the fans to turn up at the Stadium in their numbers and their presence will be a source of inspiration for us to go for ultimate,” the former Ghana youth international said.
