Songne Yacouba as been dropped from Asante Kotoko 18-man squad for the trip to Tunis to honour the return leg of the CAF Champions League.

The Burkinabe international who has returned to full fitness failed to make Kjetil Zachariassen's squad for the second leg of the CAF Champions League game against Etoile Du Sahel at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet on Sunday, September 29.

The Porcupine Warriors have welcomed back five of their first-team players in Felix Annan, Habib Mohammed, Patrick Yeboah, Justice Blay and Emmanuel Gyamfi who went on national assignment. 

Also, they have been boosted by the return of Naby Keita who missed the first leg at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium to an accumulation of cards.

The Reds will have to consolidate their 2-0 goal advantage if they have hopes of making it to the group phase.
