In-form midfielder Richard Senanu and Abdul Ganiyu failed to make the squad due to injuries sustained for the past weeks.

Striker Dany Teguy Zabo and Frederick Boateng have made the list likewise Prince Acquah who has been absent in their last two games.

Kotoko have their destiny in their own hands after they failed to beat the Hilal in Kumasi in their last home match.

A victory for the Porcupines takes them to 10 points, which is enough for their qualification regardless of what happens Al Hilal and Nkana FC in Sudan.
