Coach CK Akonnor has included defenders Daniel Darkwah, Wahab Adams and Martin Antwi in Asante Kotoko starting XI to face Zambian giants Nkana FC later today at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Left-back Daniel Darkwah replaces captain Amos Frimpong who will miss the epic clash due to suspension with center-back Wahab Adams taking the position of Emmanuel Agyemang Badu who has previously partnered Ismael Ganiu.
Right -back Augustine Sefa returns to the team after losing his position to Habib Mohammed against the Zambian giants in the first leg in Zambia.
