Ashantigold are sweating on the fitness of defender Richard Osei Agyemang ahead of the second leg clash with RS Berkane in Morroco.

The former Asante Kotoko player picked up a knock to his knee late in the second half of the first leg against the Moroccans and was substituted for Musah Mohammed for the rest of the game.

Despite travelling with the team for the encounter in Morroco, the defender is racing against time to be fit for the game on Saturday evening.

Should Osei Agyemang lose his race to be fit for the huge game, it will be a big blow for the club given the experience and ability of the player.

Young defender Musah Mohammed is likely to partner Yussif Mubarik at the back for the Miners.

Coach Ricardo da Rocha will be force to make two changes at his back line with right back Kwadwo Amoako also missing the game.
