Maxwell Konadu highlights Justice Blay absence as main reason for Kotoko’s poor display against Ash Gold
Asante Kotoko boss Maxwell Konadu has attributed his side goalless drawn game against Ash Gold to the absence of midfielder Justice Blay when Kotoko hosted the Miner in Kumasi last Sunday.
The Porcupines suffered a major blow ahead of the Miners clash in the Ghana Premier League Match Day 10. Blay was ruled out of the game due to Malaria after the midfield enforcer was earlier named in the starting line up to take on the Miners at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Addressing the media after his outfit’s stalemate with AshantiGold, Konadu indicated that the players given the chance failed to fill up Blay’s absence.
“We couldn’t play as we wanted to, but I think it all started when Justice Blay was taken out of the squad before even warm up.
It’s unfortunate we lost him but we thought others could stand in and play as he has been doing but things could not work out as we planned.”
Blay is expected to return for the Porcupine Warriors when they face Aduana Stars at Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa on Wednesday.
