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.

Hearts To Resume Training Friday

Premier Club, Accra Hearts of Oak will resume training on Friday ahead of their next Ghana Premier League (GPL) in Accra next week.

The Phobians, who top the GPL standing after 11 games, have not trained since Monday when they returned from Berekum where they defeated Chelsea 1-0 at the Golden City Park to move top of the standing.

Coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi will seek to put his charges through their paces ahead of the visit of Sekondi Hasaacas to the Accra Sports Stadium next midweek.

The Japanese-American will welcome back to training Samudeen Ibrahim and Thomas Abbey who have been long term absentees with separate injuries.

Samudeen was injured in the leg in their first GPL game of the season against New Edubiase United, and, has not played since.

Abbey sustained a rib injury in their away game with Ebusua Dwarfs at Cape Coast in Match-Day Three action and has also not played since.

However, the good news for all Hearts of Oak fans is that both players have been declared fit to return to training ahead of their next GPL game.

There is a positive karma blowing in the camp of the Phobians after returning to the top of the GPL log last weekend with their win over Chelsea at Berekum.

Fans who will troop to the Legon Ajax Park on Friday, will therefore see the two players part of the training session, and, the technical team will access their fitness level before passing them fit enough to return to competitive action.
