Hearts of Oak travelled to Techiman with a 20-man squad for the much-anticipated clash with Techiman Eleven Wonders at the Ohene Ameyaw Park on Friday.
A win for the Phobians takes them top of the league for the first time this season.
All three top goalkeepers made the squad while there is good news for Head Coach Samuel Boadu as Fatawu returns to the squad after missing the game against Elmina Sharks due to suspension.
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak will be without slippery forward, Patrick Razak as he failed to pass a late fitness test.
Nuru Sulley is still absent from the squad after he was red-carded in the 2-0 loss against Dreams FC. Larry Sumaila after a good shift performance in the absence of the captain of the side also misses out on the squad.
Ansah has still not recovered fully from his groin injury even though he has started training.
The Phobians recorded a 2-0 home victory over Eleven Wonders in the first round and are poised to complete the double over the relegation-threatened side.
Below is a full list of the Squad
