F.C Medeamma to test Stars

By: (Nii Ayi Tetteh)

Head Coach of local Black Stars side, Hebert Addo will on Wednesday afternoon know the real strength of his team as they come face-to-face with in-form Tarkwa based Premier League campaigners, F.C Medeamma in their final preparatory game as they prepare to face fellow Burkina Faso in their first-leg CHAN qualifier slated for March 13th this year in Ouagadougou.

Having engaged themselves in series of friendly games since assuming camping last week, the Stars technical team intends to use the game against F.C Medeamma scheduled for the Legon Presec Park as their final preparatory game to prune down the current playing staff.

Currently, with thirty-six players under their monitoring, the Hebert Addo led technical team is expected to prune down the number to twenty-five after the game against F.C Medeamma as they enter the final phase of their preparations before departing to Tamale where they will proceed by road to Burkina Faso next week. F.C Medeamma, coached by former Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko trainer, Abdul Karim Zito, have so far performed creditably in the on-going National Division One League as they have lost just a single game, a move that engineered their date with the Stars on Wednesday.

Currently leading the Zone 2B table with fourteen points after seven rounds of matches played and bent on securing qualification to the elite division this season, the Tarkwa based club poses of players like former Kumasi Asante Kotoko skipper, Joe Hendricks, Abubakar Mahadi, former Hearts of Oak forward, Danieal Ocran, Winfred Dormon, Hans Coffie, formerly of Heart of Lions among others and it is expect that they will give the Stars a tough test on Wednesday afternoon.
