Karela United coach Nurudeen Amadu targets Aduana FC clash after FA Cup heartbreak

Karela United head coach Nurudeen Amadu says his side have turned their full attention to the Ghana Premier League following their dramatic FA Cup elimination earlier this week.

The Tamale-based club exited the competition after losing 14–13 on penalties to Tamale City following a goalless draw, bringing an end to their cup ambitions for the season.

Amadu admitted the tight schedule has tested his squad, but insisted the priority is now league consistency ahead of Sunday’s matchday 18 clash against Aduana FC at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park.

“We were eliminated from the FA Cup, so our focus now is on the league. It was a very, very difficult situation… because there is no break and you have to continue,” he said.

The coach revealed that preparation time has been limited due to travel and fixture congestion. “We returned on Tuesday, played on Wednesday, and now today and tomorrow we have to wrap up preparations. It’s not going to be much,” Amadu added.

Despite the setback, Karela head into the weekend in good form, having lost just once in their last seven league matches.
