Black Stars goalkeeper, Benjamin Asare
Accra Hearts of Oak coach, Didi Dramani has confirmed that goalkeeper Benjamin Asare is almost fit to return to action.
Benjamin Asare has been out of action after sustaining an injury against South Korea in an international friendly game in November.
The Black Stars’ first-choice goalkeeper has since missed seven league matches, with his last game being the Super Clash against Asante Kotoko on November 9, 2025.
However, Asare has been training since December 17, and according to Didi Dramani, he will return soon.
“Benjamin (Asare) trained throughout last week. So he is about seventy per cent ready. He played 30 minutes of our friendly game last week.”
“We are trying to integrate him gradually so that he comes back. He went out with a force majeure, so that influences how we reintegrate him in the squad,” Didi Dramani said in Saturday’s post-match conference.
Asare is expected to be named in the travelling squad for the trip to second-placed Medeama S.C. on Friday, January 2, 2026.
Hearts of Oak, following their win over FC Samartex, are 5th on the league table with 28 points, two fewer than Medeama who are level on points with league leaders, Asante Kotoko.
