Asante Kotoko coach Michael Osei named his 18-man squad to face Inter Allies on Saturday in Tema without fit-again striker Kwame Boateng.

The Porcupine Warriors will be without their leading scorer Dauda Mohammed and there were suggestions Boateng would be included the squad.

But Osei named only three strikers Frank Sarfo Gyamfi, Obed Owusu and Emmanuel Osei.

Eric Ofori Antwi has been selected as second choice goalkeeper ahead of Felix Annan.

Youngsters Akwesi Nti and Michael Yeboah have been picked.

Kotoko beat Inter Allies 1-0 in the first round in Kumasi and they will be in for another victory in the harbour city.

Goalkeepers – Ernest Sowah and Eric Ofori Antwi

Defenders – Amos Frimpong, Evans Quao, Ahmed Adams, Osei Agyeman, Ata Kusi;

Midfielders – Theophilus Nyame, Benette Ofori, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Akwasi Nti, Michael Yeboah, Kwadwo Poku, Stephen Nyarko, Eric Donkor;

Attackers – Frank Sarfo Gyamfi, Obed Owusu and Emmanuel Osei.
