Big Blow: Hearts of Oak to miss Salifu Ibrahim for JS Saoura clash on Sunday

Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak will be missing the services of midfielder Salifu Ibrahim in their game against Algerian side JS Saoura on Sunday.

The Ghana Premier League champions secured a 2-0 win over JS Saoura in the first leg played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Goals from Salisu Ibrahim and Agyenim Boateng ensured the Phobians go into the second leg this weekend with a two-goal lead.

The former Eleven Wonders marksman suffered injury in the game and was eventually subbed off and replaced by Isaac Agyenim Boateng who added the second goal of the game.

According to report filed by Phobian News, Salifu Ibrahim may not be fit to the reverse fixture this weekend.

Ahead of the return fixture, the Phobians will leave Ghana on Wednesday to Algeria to continue with preparations for the game on Sunday, December 5, 2021.

A win will see the Phobians reach the money zone or CAF Confederation Cup group stage for the first time since 2004.
