Hearts of Oak’s goalkeeper Benjamin Asare is reportedly set to miss the highly anticipated President’s Cup match against Asante Kotoko on Sunday due to illness.
Asare, who was recently crowned Goalkeeper of the Year at the 2025 Ghana Football Awards, has been instrumental in the team’s improvement since he joined.
His absence will undoubtedly be felt, given his exceptional reflexes, leadership, and shot-stopping abilities.
Asare’s impressive performances earned him a spot in the Black Stars squad, where he played crucial matches against Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Hearts of Oak will need to rely on other goalkeeping options to fill the gap left by Asare’s absence.
The team will hope that their backup goalkeeper can rise to the challenge and help them secure a win against their arch-rivals.
