Didi Dramani Reasserts Asare’s No.1 Status After Hearts’ Winning Return
Hearts of Oak head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has moved to end any debate over his goalkeeping hierarchy, making it clear that Benjamin Asare remains the club’s undisputed first choice whenever he is fit.
Following Hearts’ narrow 1–0 triumph over Hohoe United on Saturday, Dramani highlighted the importance of the experienced shot-stopper, who returned to the starting line-up after weeks out with injury and delivered a composed performance between the posts.
The Hearts boss was emphatic about Asare’s standing within the squad, pointing not only to his ability but also to his leadership role.
“Benjamin Asare is our number one goalkeeper and the captain. Whenever he is fit and ready, he gets the nod to start,” Dramani said.
Asare’s comeback provided a timely boost as the Phobians kicked off the second round of the Ghana Premier League with a positive result, reinforcing stability at the back and confidence across the team.
With the season entering a decisive phase, Dramani will be hoping his captain stays healthy, as Hearts look to find consistency and strengthen their push up the league table. The coach’s clear backing underlines the trust placed in Asare to anchor the side in the weeks ahead.
