Caf Champions League: Yacouba out as Kotoko travel for Etoile du Sahel decider

Burkinabe striker Songne Yacouba is a conspicuous absentee from Asante Kotoko's travelling party for Sunday's Caf Champions League away clash with Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia.

The 27-year-old has promptly returned to the sidelines for unclear reasons, having only made a comeback to the matchday squad as the Porcupine Warriors registered a 2-0 home triumph in the first leg of the first round fixture.

Kotoko's talisman during their Caf Confederation Cup campaign last season, made a second-half appearance in the September 15 tie.

Captain Felix Annan leads the travelling team for Sousse, alongside veteran midfielder Jordan Opoku and frontman Richard Arthur who netted in the first leg.
