The decision from the meeting, as per the report is that management still believe in Boadu to turn things around for the club.

Hearts’ performance in continental assignment is not different from their domestic form this season.

The Premier League champions are struggling to replicate last season’s form with no victory recorded in their opening five Ghana Premier League games.

Hearts have lost two and drawn three of their games and are currently in a relegation brawl with a match to spare.

It is expected that the return of Gladson Awako to their fold will help turn things around for the Phobians. The new signing returned from illness a couple of days Hearts travelled to Algeria.

He could have made the trip to the Northern land but Salifu Ibrahim’s recovery to full fitness hampered Awako’s chances of making cut to Saoura. The two players were battling for a space for the Algerian trip but Salifu Ibrahim who has been Hearts best player so far got the nod.

Ibrahim sustained injury against Saoura in the first leg. Should he failed to recover, Awako would have replaced him for the Algerian journey.

The Ghana Premier League side scored a total 6 goals and conceded 10 goals in their this season’s African campaign.

They never conceded at home against any of their opponents which is a good record for the Ghanaian side. They managed to score away when Patrick Razak scored in 6-1 humiliation by Wydad Casablanca in Caf Champions League first round second leg in Mohamed V Stadium.
