The former Kotoko defender has stated that injury worry to his trusted defensive midfielders has paved way for Wakaso’s return after his splendid club form at Deportivo Alaves.

"Wakaso plays as a defensive midfielder and, at the moment Afriyie Acquah is returning from  injury and Alfred Duncan is injured, so automatically I only have Attamah Lawerh," Appiah told Graphic Sports.

"I need to bring someone who I know already can play that role."

The match will come off at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday November 12.
