Asante Kotoko gaffer C.K. Akonnor has handed debut starts to Ivorian Dang Zabo Teguy and Habib Mohammed as they face ZESCO United in Zambia on Sunday afternoon.

Teguy replaces suspended Songne Yacouba in the make or break final group clash in CAF Confederation Cup in Ndola.

This will mark the first time the former Manzini FC striker will be playing for the club since signing in January.

Akonnor also named Habib Mohammed to start ahead of Martin Antwi who started in the 1-1 draw with Al Hilal last week at home.

Daniel Darkwah continues to impress as left back and captain Amos Frimpong will defend on the right side.

The centre back pair of Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Wahab Adams remains unchanged and so is the midfield duo of Umar Bashir, Kwame Bonsu.

Kotoko need a win to advance from Group C which has Nkana FC and Sudanese side Al Hilal in contention.

Asante Kotoko XI:

Felix Annan- Amos Frimpong, Daniel Darkwah, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Wahab Adams- Habib Mohammed, Umar Bashir, Kwame Bonsu-Emmanuel Gyamfi, Abdul Fatawu Safiu, Dang Zabo Teguy
