CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Asante kotoko ready for Algeria test


Africa club of the century and reigning Ghana Premier league champions, Kumasi Asante Kotoko has had a shambolic start of their Premier league campaign with just 3 wins out of their many games.
The Porcupine Warriors are fourteenth in the current First Capital Plus Premier League. 
Kotoko travel to Algeria tonight ahead of their crucial CAF champions league first leg tie against MC El Eulma.
Kotoko's record on Algerian soil has been abysmal. They travel to North Africa this time around with an even poorer run of form as they drew 1-1 at home with Medeama.

The problem with the 21-time Premier league winners seems to be a constant factor after the club ordered coach Didi Dramani who had a contract running with the club until the end of the season to proceed on leave indefinitely. 
Asante Kotoko have had couple of draws after Didi Dramani's leave and are currently in the the relegation zone, they fall on the fourteenth spot of the table.
Didi Dramani led Kotoko to two Premier league titles, one FA Cup runners' up medal, one FA Cup and two Super Cups. 

Kotoko have announced an official 28-man squad for their trip to Algeria ahead of their CAF Champions League first leg tie against MC El Eulma this weekend in Algeria. 
The squad announced by assistant coach Michael Osei has 19 players in which are three goalkeepers, seven defenders, six midfielders and three strikers.
Soon to be announced coach David Duncan is reported to join the club in their trip to Algeria

Asante Kotoko has won three successive Premier league titles, 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14.

The club's experienced defender Abeiku Ainooson says the club will surely bounce back and that he is very confident Kotoko's domestic form won't interfere with their Champions League campaign. 

Ghana plays a 16th-club-league.
