I am happy Kwame Opoku is coming back to the squad - Kotoko coach Karim Zito

Asante Kotoko coach Karim Zito says he is excited about the imminent return of striker Kwame Opoku. 

The 26-year-old has been out of action after suffering an injury against Berekum Chelsea in their opener of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Opoku returned to training and could feature in the club’s league tie against Karela United on Sunday, November 2, at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Speaking to the club’s media ahead of the game, Zito highlighted the importance of having Kwame Opoku back in the fold.

“When you look at the injury situation, it goes with the attackers mostly with the attackers," he said.

"That is why I’m very happy Kwame [Opoku] is coming back to come and join those who are there,” Zito added.

Opoku’s return comes at a time when Kotoko have sold striker Albert Amoah to Libyan side Al Ahly Benghazi.

Kick off for the game has been scheduled at 15:00 GMT.
