Bechem lose two goalkeepers to injuries

..in Premier League defeat

Ten-man Bechem United lost two goalkeepers to injuries in their 2-0 defeat at Hasaacas on Wednesday, forcing defender Patrick Cole to finish the match in goal.

First choice Ernest Adu was rushed to the hospital unconscious after a player of the home side kneed him in the head.

Replacement goalkeeper Maxwell Eshun was carried off on a stretcher before the 75th minute mark with a shin injury after he collided with an opponent.

Defender Patrick Cole had to dress up as a makeshift goalkeeper after head coach Tom Strand had exhausted his substitution.

Bechem United have slipped to sixth on the First Capital Plus Premier League table.

This means the Hunters have got only one fit goalkeeper-Osei Boateng available for selection in their next match on Sunday against Inter Allies at home.

Experienced goalkeeper Eric Nii Baah is in plaster and has been virtually ruled out of the season.
