Asante Kotoko head coach Steve Polack is currently in a neck brace after the club’s team bus conveying players and officials of the club to Kumasi was involved in an accident.

He is responding to treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

Assistant coach Godwin Ablordey is also on crutches.

The injured players have been transferred from the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where they are currently receiving treatment.

The assistant equipment officer, Kofi Asare, has been confirmed dead.

The team was travelling back to Kumasi after a league match with Tema-based Inter Allies where Kotoko suffered a 0-1 defeat.
