Under-fire Hearts of Oak coach Henry Wellington will not be on the bench when the Phobians take on Karela United in the Ghana Premier League week 8 clash this Wednesday.

This is because the former Kotoko trainer has suddenly taken ill. According to reports, Wellington complained about being unwell after his side’s shock 2-1 defeat to Elmina Sharks on Saturday. He has, however, started receiving treatment and is expected to be out for a few days. 

In his absence, assistant coach Edward Odoom will take charge of the team and will be in the dugout against the newly promoted side.

Willington has been under massive pressure from Hearts of Oak fans to step down after their bumpy start to the season. They have won three, lost three and drawn once in seven games.
