Kotoko acting Chief Executive Opoku Nti has silenced media reports that players have threatened to boycott this weekendââ¬â¢s Champions League tie because of unpaid salaries.
The Ghanaian champions visit Liberian side Barrack Young Controllers in the return leg encounter in Monrovia on Sunday.
The rumours have rattled a lot of cages in the camp of the Porcupine Warriors whose management have been quick to water them down.
ââ¬ÅI was left wondering where these news keeps coming from,â⬠Nti said.
ââ¬ÅWe donââ¬â¢t need this. It is total rubbish. We are all here as a team trying to concentrate ahead of departure to Monrovia.
ââ¬Å All players are in good mood and itââ¬â¢s not true we havenââ¬â¢t paid our players.
ââ¬ÅWe pay them well and I am bothered when people try to disrupt the squad ahead of a crucial game like this, itââ¬â¢s a shame.ââ¬
Kotoko were unimpressive in the 2-1 first leg win and must double up effort to progress to the next stage.
