Hearts of Oak defender Raddy Ovouka will miss the Phobians season opener against Aduana Stars after receiving call up into the Congolese national team.
Ovouka who has been one of the outstanding players for the Accra based club will form part of the Red Devils squad that will lock horns against Eswatini in a doubleheader on November 12 and 16.
With the Ghana Premier League set to start in the same scheduled date for the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers it is believed the budding left-back will not be available for the Phobians cliff hanger against Aduana Stars.
According to reports in Congo, the head coach of Congo Valdo Finho is impressed with the performance of the player and believe in his capabilities, and ready to make him an integral member of the squad.
In his absence, former Liberty Professionals left-back William Dankyi is expected to fill the void.
Raddy Ovouka got his first national team call up in March but had to wait for several months to make his first appearance for the country due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
