APR 1, 2015 LISTEN

MC El Eulma have changed their arrival in Ghana from Wednesday to Friday as they prepare to face Asante Kotoko on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi in the CAF Champions League.

The Ghana champions managed a goalless draw in Algeria, three weeks ago against El Eulma in the first leg of the first round of the elite competition of African club football and the second leg comes off this weekend.

However, they have decided to arrive in Ghana on a later date for reasons best known to them.

'We have received a mail from El Eulma that they can't arrive on Wednesday as earlier scheduled, but they will arrive in Ghana on Friday,' Opoku Nti, Kotoko's General Manager said.

This means that the Algerian outfit would train on Saturday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, just a day before the game to have one training session in the stadium to host the game as required by CAF in respect to an away team.

The porcupine Warriors were knocked out of the CAF Champions League two years ago by Bejaia of Algeria after Kotoko had managed to secure a famous goalless draw away, but a one all draw saw them out of the competition at their own backyard.
