Ghana Premier League Preview: Aduana Stars vs Liberty Professionals- Winless hosts face beat-up Liberty

Aduana Stars have seen their title challenge suffer after going winless in their last three matches in the Ghana Premier League.

They will attempt revive their bid with a victory over depleted Liberty Professionals on Saturday at the Nana Agyemang Badu park.

The Fire boys slumped in midweek against Dreams FC with a 2-0 loss at the Dawu park.

Joseph Addo remains to be the first choice goalie for Romanian gaffer Coiaba Aristica.

Nathaniel Asamoah has failed to recover from a knock he sustained against Dreams FC on Wednesday and is out of the game against Liberty Professionals.

He was substituted 15 minutes into the game in the midweek.

Liberty Professionals succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Medeama SC last Wednesday which has put more pressure on head coach George Lamptey to save his job.

His problems have been aggravated with five key players ruled out of the trip to Dormaa to face Aduana Stars.

Centre back and captain Samuel Sarfo, midfielder Gerald Arkson and top scorer Latif Atta Blessing are injured whilst Edward Ebo Mends is suspended and Bernard Arthur with sickness.

Benjamin Eshun is available for selection after recovering from an injury whereas Emmanuel Antwi returns from his suspension but couldn't make the journey.
