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.

Owusu posted pictures on his Facebook wall showing him walking with the aid of a walking stick indicating that indeed, his recovery is going well.
The Reds have since struggled to make an impact in the ongoing Ghana Premier League (GPL), as they sit in ninth position with 11 points after nine games.
