Asante Kotoko coach CK Akunnor has excluded experienced duo Jordan Opoku and Daniel Nii Adjei to face Coton Sport on Sunday in the CAF Confederation Cup playoff first leg tie.

They have been replaced by Stephen Nyarko and Prince Acquah as the Porcupine Warriors fly out on Friday to Yaounde.

Akunnor selected 18 players for the important clash and will be accompanied by seven technical officials, and a photojournalist.

The team left Kumasi on Thursday evening and will spend the night at an unnamed hotel in East Legon, Accra.

They will leave for the Kotoka International Airport early Friday morning.
