Five players in the camp of Asante Kotoko players are set to miss the CAF Champions League second round return fixture against Al Hilal in Sudan.
The Africa Club of the Century plays away to the Sudanese side in the second round CAF Champions League return fixture at the Al Hilal Sports Stadium in Omdurman later today.
The Porcupine Warriors head into the game with a 1-0 deficit after losing the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium a fortnight ago.
Ahead of the game, it has been reported that five players had tested positive for covid-19 in Sudan and will miss the clash this afternoon.
This comes as a huge blow for interim coach Johnson Smith as they set sights to turn things around and qualify to the next stage of the completion.
But fortunately for Kotoko, they travelled with 22 players and that the game will come off as scheduled.
