Ismail Abdul Ganiyu marks first premier league appearance in over a year for Asante Kotoko in their stalemate against Elmina Sharks

It was a sight of relieve for Ismail Abdul Ganiyu as the defender mark his first appearance in the on-going Ghana premier league season for Asante Kotoko in their boring goalless draw against Elmina Sharks on Thursday night

The towering centre back has been out injured with a knee ligament in the later end of 2019 and has since not featured in the top-flight league this season

The promising defender fought his way back to full fitness and has since featured in the Porcupine Warriors miserable defeat to Asokwa Deportivo in the on-going MTN FA Cup and has been on match day squads for over a month now

Ismail Abdul Ganiyu replaced injured Habib Mohammed for the second half of the club’s goalless draw game against the Sharks from Elmina

The defender went through the game unhurt and is now in line to get a starting berth in the club’s next encounter in the premier league over the weekends
