Asante Kotoko have recalled defender Ahmed Adams from the local Black Stars squad ahead of their trip to Japan for an international friendly.

The Porcupine Warriors wants the centre back to feature in Sunday’s Ghana Premier League clash against Ebusua Dwarfs.

Kotoko have Richard Osei Agyemang injured and have only Evans Quao and Ohene Brenya in camp.

This means Adams will not make the squad to face Japan’s U23 side on 11 May at Best Amenity Stadium in the city of Saga.

Japan will use the match to prepare for the summer Olympics football tournament and also raise funds for the the victims of the Kumamoto earthquakes.
