Hearts of Oak former star Mohammed Polo believes the Phobians will recover from last weekend’s surprise 3-1 loss to visiting Wa All Stars.

The Accra-based side’s five game unbeaten run ended on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium at the hands of the Wa-based side.

“The pre-season form was a bad one and the good start to the season should serve as a morale booster for the side,” Polo told Sportscrusader.com.

“It was unfortunate they lost heavily but they should not be down but rather go into the board room review what went wrong and correct all the mistakes.”

Hearts of Oak will be involved in away fixture against Techiman City next weekend in a match observers believe would be a true test for Japanese manager Kelechi.
