Hearts without duo for Berekum Chelsea clash

Hearts will be without influential duo Musah Ibrahim and Sabahn Laryea for this weekend's crucial Premier League game at Berekum Chelsea.

The pair are part of Ghana's Local Black Stars squad expected to travel to Japan on Saturday for an international friendly.

Coach Maxwell Konadu has included the duo in his 17-man squad for the friendly against Japan's Olympic team, scheduled for next Wednesday.

This means the two players will not be available for the clash against the Blues at the once dreaded Golden City Park.

The Phobians are desperate to pick themselves after losing 1-0 at home to sworn rivals Asante Kotoko on Monday.
