Abbey Provides Injury Boost For Hearts

Accra Hearts of Oak player, Thomas Abbey has provided an injury boost to the Phobians by returning to training after missing the club’s last Ghana Premier League (GPL) game against WAFA at Sogakope last Saturday with a minor knee problem.

The versatile Abbey, suffered the knee injury in their previous encounter with AshantiGold SC at the Accra Sports Stadium and, was given time out to skip training by the clubs medical team.

However, the player who can play in defence and midfield, returned to training with the rest of his colleagues on Monday after the team’s defeat to WAFA in the Match-Day 23 GPL encounter.

He will hope to train well this week hoping to be included in the squad for this Sunday’s GPL home game with Techiman City at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The player sat out most of the first round of this season’s competition after picking up a rib injury in the Match-Day Three game with Ebusua Dwarfs in Cape Coast.

He returned to the first team frame at the start of the second round of the season and has been a constant feature in Coach Sergio Traguil’s squad until this latest setback.

His return to training should be good news to the team as they battle to regain top spot of the league with seven games to end the season.

Coach Traguil could include him in the setup for Sunday’s game against Techiman City as the Phobians look to get back to winning ways after their first away loss of the season against WAFA.

And Abbey has paid tribute to the club’s medics for their efforts in ensuring that he made a quick return to training as he battles to regain full fitness.

“I take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the medical team for all their efforts in making sure that I made a quick return to training,” he told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.

Abbey trained with the rest of his colleagues on Monday as the team returned to training after their one week break at the end of the first round of the GPL.

He has been put on a special recovery training programme by the Hearts medical team as they monitor his progress, and, he is determined to make the most of this situation.

“Getting back to my previous level will require time, but, I am confident that I can make this transition faster to be able to return to action in the second round of the league,” Abbey said.

Hearts Staring Ban After Crowd Hooliganism

Accra Hearts of Oak could be handed a three-match home ban from the Accra Sports Stadium following the misconduct by the clubs fans in their 3-1 defeat at home to Wa All Stars in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) Match-Day Six fixture last Sunday.

Fans of the Club were involved in hooliganism after attacking center referee Ernest Baafi and his assistants expressing their displeasure about the performance of the match officials.

Goals from Kweku Asuandzi, Richard Arthur and Emmanuel Ocran dented Hearts’s unbeaten run in the GPL this season.

The Match Review Committee (MRC) of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after assessing the situation are on the verge of slapping the Club (Hearts of Oak) with a three home match ban after reviewing the case.

If the MRC is to uphold its stance on the misconduct of Hearts fans in the said match, then the upcoming games against WAFA, Kotoko and Hasaacas will be played away from the Accra Sports Stadium.
