All the injured players of Kumasi Asante Kotoko except one have been discharged from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi after the team bus was involved in an accident at Nkawkaw.
The crash claimed the life of the assistant equipment officer of the club Kofi Asare who died on the spot.

The team manager, Godwin Abloddey and other officials, have also been discharged.

“The accident occurred around 9:45pm when the team bus ran into a stationary vehicle. Personnel on the bus are generally fine. Some are however receiving treatment at the Holy Family Hospital, Nkawkaw.
“With great difficulty, Management is entreating supporters of the club and the general public to stay calm and pray for our personnel. A full statement on the incident will be issued in due course,” the club said on its official website during the wee hours of Thursday.
