Asante Kotoko have explained the reason defender Patrick Asmah will be wearing a protective headgear for training and matches.

Asmah was spotted wearing the helmet in training on Friday as team prepared for Sunday’s Ghana Premier League clash against Ashantigold.

According to the head of the club’s medical team Dr. Twumasi Baah Jnr, it’s a  move to curb his recurrent head injuries.

”We want to make sure that we reduce his risk of suffering any more head injuries and so he would be wearing the headgear until we are medically convinced that he needs to stop,”

The Asante Kotoko Medical Team believes this will prevent any further occurrences .

The left back’s recent three head injuries have sidelined him for sometime following his good start in the Ghana Premier League.
