Hearts are yet to win a game this season
Hearts of Oak midfielder Gladson Awako has fired a salvo at rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko, warning the Porcupines not to underrate the Phobians.
The former Great Olympics captain joined Hearts of Oak in August but is yet to feature for some reasons speculated to be spiritual.
After a long time out, Awako resumed training with coach Samuel Boadu’s side on Tuesday, November 23, 2021.
Awako’s return is a big boost for the reigning GPL champions who have gone four games without victory.
Awako told Hot FM from Hearts of Oak’s training base in Cape Coast that the team will be ready for the match against Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
He has sounded caution to Kotoko not to write Hearts of Oak off as they will discover their form prior to that game.
Awako hopes to regain fitness and feature in the game slated for December 10 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
“Kotoko are yet to play Hearts and other big clubs in the current league,” Awako told Hot FM.
“They will play Hearts on matchday seven and I am hoping to play at least a match before that game. I expect to feature if permitted against Kotoko and I know Hearts will hit top gear so you can’t write us off just like that since the season is still young,” he added.
Hearts are currently in Cape Coast preparing for their CAF Confederations Cup match against Saoura.
The game is scheduled for Sunday, November 28, 2021.
