Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Abud Omar

132 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Tusker lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Brandon Obiero agrees terms with Sofapaka

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Tusker people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Brandon Obiero asks to leave Tusker

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Pereowei Magbisa will not be coming to Tusker

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Flamurtari is saying, and nobody at Tusker is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

Tusker lose Chris Erambo

28 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Tusker

Ian Simiyu Jr. 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Kermit Mokoena is in the works

Tusker have made the call to SuperSport United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Brandon Obiero 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Tusker

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

Squad

Chris Erambo out for 59 days

The medical room confirms 59 days on the sidelines for Chris Erambo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Tempers go at Tusker

Xhovalin Trifoni was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Tusker keep their word to Samuel Kapen

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad

Words at Tusker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. John Otieno is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

No hiding place for Reuben Otieno

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

The dugout

Abud Omar gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Abud Omar is on it.

Victor Mbaoma 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.

Squad

Words at Tusker training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rodgers Kipkemoi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Abud Omar has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Tusker will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

The Victor Mbaoma story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Victor Mbaoma signs something — a contract at Tusker or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout

Brandon Obiero knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Tusker, and both men came out saying it was fine.
