Accra Hearts of Oak will resume their preseason training on December 4, 2017 as they kick start preparations for the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season, according to local media reports.

The Phobians will also commence preparations for the G8 tournament scheduled to begin on January 6-21, 2018 as they compete with seven other teams for the first silver ware of the 2017/18 football season.

Scottish trainer, Frank Elloit Nuttall is expected to be back in the country during the course of the week, as he seeks to augment and prepare his squad for the upcoming season.

Hearts finished third in the just-ended GPL with 45 points and also missed out on the 2017 MTN FA Cup trophy after losing to the arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in the finals of the competition.
