Hearts of Oak's Hussein Mohammed will shelve the sentiment against his old club Debibi United as the Phobians chase Ghana Premier League glory.
Ghanaian playmaker Hussein Mohammed is set for a reunion with a difference this Sunday, as Hearts of Oak travel to Debibi Presby Park to face his former club Debibi United in the Ghana Premier League. The attacking midfielder is expected to feature in the Matchday Nine clash against the newly promoted side.
Mohammed admits the occasion will tug at his heartstrings, but he is determined not to let feelings cloud his judgment. With Hearts playing some of the most eye-catching football in the league, he says the focus has to stay on the job at hand. The emotional side, he suggests, can wait until the final whistle.
Momentum is firmly with the Phobians. Hearts arrive on the back of three straight league wins, the latest a 1-0 victory over Basake Holy Stars at the UG Sports Stadium last weekend. That result moved the Accra giants up to second on 17 points from eight games, level with leaders Medeama SC and separated only by goal difference.
Defensive solidity has been a hallmark of the start to the campaign, with Hearts conceding only twice so far. For Mohammed, the mission is simple: help keep the title charge rolling, then savour the reunion once the three points are in the bag.
