Asante Kotoko’s clash with FC Nouadhibou has been cancelled after the visiting team failed to take off their players who reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.
Game was called off on Saturday, December 5 after report surfaced that the visiting team had two of their players testing positive for Covid-19.
Game was then rescheduled to take place on Sunday, December 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium with both teams asked to present new Covid-19 test results.
According to reports, two players of FC Nouadhibou tested positive for Covid-19 again, leaving them with limited squad and were not keen on playing.
