Hearts of Oak coach Edward Odoom has left out defender Christopher Bonney and 8 others as he submitted his final 26-man squad to the club’s board, according to Sunyani-based Nimdee FM.

The experienced trainer has submitted his trusted list of players to the club’s hierarchy with three more players proposed by the coach to be purchased.

Odoom has recommended reinforcement to the right side of defence as he has declared no confidence in Christopher Bonney. Bonney was consistent at the role and rated one of the top players during Kim Grant’s spell at the club.

Along with Bonney is Burkina Faso attacker Abubakar Traore and Bernard Arthur who are all going to have their contracts terminated according to a claim by Ghana Sports News.
