I had a great start but injuries held me back - Kotoko midfielder Emmanuel Antwi

Asante Kotoko midfielder Emmanuel Antwi says injuries held him back after a blistering start to life at the club.

Antwi, who joined the Porcupine Warriors on a free transfer from Great Olympics hit the ground running by scoring in the 1-1 draw against Young Apostles at home.

However, the midfielder struggled to stay fit due to recurring injuries. Antwi, following the conclusion of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season, made 15 starts with nine substitute appearances.

"It was a great start for me. After my call-up to the Black Stars, I had issues - injuries, personal issues," he told the club's media team, assessing his debut season with Kotoko.

"I would say it was a great start, but going forward, I came down due to the injuries and what I was going through as well.

"I would say it was 50/50."
Antwi will look to wrap up his season with Kotoko with the FA Cup victory over Golden Kick when the two teams meet in the final on Sunday, June 15 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
