Hearts of Oak Scottish coach, Frank Nuttal, is expected to arrive tonight and will later join the club’s pre-season training on Tuesday at the Legon Ajax Park.

The Phobians returned to training today (Monday) to begin preparations for the coming season.

Coach Nuttal went for a two week holiday but his absence is worrying over player recruitment as the Scot is yet to pencil down his targets for 2017/18.

Assistant Coach Henry Wellington Lamptey together with goalkeepers’ trainer James Jerry and Team Manager Sabahn Quaye led the session involving first team players and recently promoted Auroras trio, Manaf Gumah, Philip Heymann and goalkeeper Richard Baidoo.

The Phobians went on a six-week holiday, a day after the MTN FA CUP finals, but Hearts are scheduled to battle Kotoko in the return encounter of the Ghana at 60 Cup on the 24th December, 2017 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
