Hearts of Oak training

Hearts of Oak practised penalties at the end of Wednesday's training session as they prepare for the possibility of a shootout in the CAF Confederation Cup round 32 qualifier return leg.

The Phobians face Senegalese side Olympique de Ngor on Saturday in the return leg holding a 2-1 win from the corresponding fixture.

There is a possibility that both sides could be tied on aggregate after extra-time and the technical team does not want to take chances.

“This is something we have been practicing for some time now and I can say that so far we are confident of doing something good should the game travel to penalties,” head coach Herbert Addo told Ghana Football News

“In everything one must be prepared and that is what we have been doing for some time now. We don't think the game will even get to   penalties because are poised to beating them on Sunday, but like I said, there is the need to prepare.”

Hearts have been boosted by the availability of goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama, who missed their last league match after receiving a call-up to play for Burkina Faso during the international break.
