Squad

Saidu Hamisu breaks a bone — 38 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 38 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Muhammed Alao 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 Katsina United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

A long bet from Katsina United on Jordan Amissah

He is 20, and nobody at Katsina United signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad

Jordan Amissah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jordan Amissah and Katsina United agree another 3 years.

Squad

The formation has left Jordan Amissah behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Katsina United will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

The dugout

No hiding place for Musa Sulaiman

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

Back issues

Squad

45 days out for Saidu Hamisu after a fracture

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

Squad

Tempers go at Katsina United

Muhammed Alao 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.

Squad

Chari Giwa arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Chari Giwa has, at Katsina United, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Katsina United lose Hassan Abubakar

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

Market

Still no ink between Katsina United and Temple Emekayi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Katsina United, another week without a signature from Temple Emekayi.

The dugout

No hiding place for Kabir Muhammed Kabir

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