Asante Kotoko coach Charles Akunnor has dropped striker Sogne Yacouba from his starting line up in their CAF Confederation Cup clash against Kariobangi Sharks.

The Burkinabe forward has had to battle sickness in the last few months and coach Akunnor does not want to risk for the game.

Meanwhile, Guinean import Naby Keita will lead the lines and be supported by Martin Antwi, Emmanuel Gyamfi and Maxwell Baakoh.

Felix Annan, as usual, starts in goal whilst Muntari Tagoe takes a place on the substitutes bench.

Amos Frimpong, Augustine Sefah, Abdul Ganiyu and Emmanuel Agyemang Badu are the back four whilst Richard Senanu and Jordan Opoku will hold the fort in midfield.
