Asante Kotoko midfielder Samuel Tenadu is set to resume full training on Tuesday, putting him in contention for selection in the upcoming Premier League match against FC Samartex this Sunday at Len Clay Stadium.
The Porcupines are eager to return to league action after sitting out the last round of fixtures due to club engagements overseas. Tenadu, who was anticipated to make his season debut against Young Apostles, missed that opportunity due to a foot injury sustained during warm-ups.
His rehabilitation has progressed well, and his return is highly anticipated, especially in his hometown of Obuasi, where fans are eager to see the midfielder don the number 20 jersey.
Tenadu is known for his exceptional defensive abilities, often regarded as the ultimate screen shield for the team. His presence in the squad is seen as a significant boost for head coach Prosper Ogum and his men as they look to reclaim the top spot in the league standings. The Porcupines currently sit on eleven points from their first five matches, with a game in hand.
With a challenging schedule ahead, including matches against Legon Cities and Basake Holy Stars, the return of Tenadu could prove crucial.
Asante Kotoko has recorded two consecutive home wins, and the squad aims to secure a third victory against a tough FC Samartex side this Sunday.
