Les Cotonniers, looking to overturn a 3-2 deficit from a home loss in the first leg, have made their way to Ghana in a 26-man contingent well ahead of the reverse fixture scheduled for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, January 20.
The Coton Sport contingent includes 18 players, four technical staff and same number of administrative personnel led by club president Fernand Sadou.
Squad news:
Coach Bertin Ebwelle’s side is boosted by the return of attacking midfielder Serge Seko who had to sit out of the first leg as a result of card accumulation. They however lose left-back Bawak Etta on same grounds.
Also back in the mix is Simon Omossola, who was Coton Sport’s first-choice goalkeeper in their journey to winning the Cameronian elite league last season.
