Asante Kotoko have dropped midfielder Larbi Koomson from the club’s squad for the 2015 CAF Champions League alongside defender Richard Oti and Burkina import Halipha Sedogo, DailySoccerGhana.com can confirm.

Koomson had to be left out of the Porcupine Warriors’ final list for the continental club championship due to a niggling knee injury that has kept the former Medeama SC player out of action since October last year.

The Kumapem club claims Oti was dropped because he failed to make the cut while Sedogo’s exclusion was due to his failure to secure residence and work permits in time before the submission of the squad.

Meanwhile, the trio has been listed in Kotoko’s 28-man squad for the Ghana Premier League, which kicks off on Saturday.
