Injured Hearts of Oak duo Selassie Adjei and Shaun October ruled out Esperance trip

Hearts of Oak will be without injured duo Selassie Adjei and Shaun October for their CAF Confederation Cup play-off first leg tie against Esperance on Sunday.

Striker Adjei has been out since March when he suffered a knee injury in the 2-1 win over Senegalese side Olympique de Ngor in Accra in the first qualifying round.

He could not recover in time for the trip to Tunis.

October, a left-back, was absent from training on Monday after suffering a foot injury at the weekend.

Hearts will leave Accra on Wednesday night for the encounter.
