Wed, 21 Jan 2004 Source: --

Accra Hearts of Oak say they have the compliments of a full squad for their Coca-Cola Top Four opening game against King Faisal Thursday. Three players of the team-Dan Quaye, goalkeeper Sammy Adjei and Lawrence Adjei were reported to be on their way out of the country for trails in Europe.

But the public relations officer of the club, Randy Abbey said that the players are in camp and will feature for the phobians in Thursday’s tie with King Faisal. The official opening of the Top Four competition at the Accra Sports Stadium will precede the Hearts-Faisal match.

In a related development, Hearts will miss the services of Bernard Dong Bortey who is currently on trial in Germany. Bortey, a member of the national Olympic team, the Black Meteors, was initially in Turkey for a trial stint after the Meteors’ last Olympic qualifier in Algiers but has since moved to Germany where he hopes to land a new club.

Hearts however believe the player will return in time for the remaining matches of the Coca-Cola Top four competition. However, the Chairman of King Faisal club, Alhaji Karim Grunsah, has sound a note of caution to the phobians, saying they will give Hearts a run for their money and defeat them at all cost.
