Elvis Baffour breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout10 May 2027

Joseph Amoah keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Asante Kotoko may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market10 May 2027

Only the photograph left for Yahaya Baba

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yahaya Baba will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Asante Kotoko the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad10 May 2027

Baba Asamoah out for 40 days

The medical room confirms 40 days on the sidelines for Baba Asamoah, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout10 May 2027

The manager makes an example of Mohammed Kyereh

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Words exchanged at Asante Kotoko

Seth Kwadwo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

99 days out for Elvis Baffour after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Asante Kotoko will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market3 May 2027

Bernard Somuah has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Asante Kotoko they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Peter Amidu Acquah falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Morifing Donzo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Asante Kotoko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout3 May 2027

Mohammed Yahaya gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad3 May 2027

Saaka Dauda slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Saaka Dauda is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

Market3 May 2027

Asante Kotoko and Moses Nyebe are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout3 May 2027

Morifing Donzo has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Morifing Donzo has written the date down.

Loan watch3 May 2027

Francis Acquah would sign for WAFA tomorrow

“Nobody here treats me like a loan player, and that is worth more than people think.” 29 appearances and 0 goals, and a summer that will decide it.

Peter Amidu Acquah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Asante Kotoko

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Peter Amidu Acquah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Asante Kotoko

Mohammed Kyereh and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Elvis Baffour

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Elvis Baffour, and the manager let it.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Albert Boateng on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Albert Boateng after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Match19 Dec 2026

Asante Kotoko and Great Olympics cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Great Olympics came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Abba Musa left out for tactical reasons at Asante Kotoko

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes Abba Musa a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Asante Kotoko. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Kwame Opoku says his piece

“If we are going to be beaten, let it not be because somebody in here could not be bothered.” He stood up and said it in front of everybody, which is a thing a squad remembers about a man for years.
