If Hearts are unable to meet the requirements of Caf, it is likely the game will be moved to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium since that was the alternative home ground the Phobians chose before the start of the competition.

The trio started the game against Guinean side CI Kamsar in the preliminary round of the Champions League and their return has been a good news to coach Samuel Boadu.

Meanwhile, midfielder Gladson Awako will likely miss the first leg of the clash against Wydad Athletic Club. The 30-year-old is expected to begin training next week after he was spotted doing personal training at home last week.

Hearts of Oak last reached the group stage of the competition in 2000 where they became the eventual winners that season.
