A knee injury of the worst kind for Issa Abba
14 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Stars Jeunes Talents lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Match4 Jan 2027
Stars Jeunes Talents up to position 3
22 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Words exchanged at Stars Jeunes Talents
Narcisse Hissein 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.

A bad afternoon for Stars Jeunes Talents against Aiglons
0‑2 to Aiglons, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
Player ratings4 Jan 2027
Mahamat Mbainaissem was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Abdramane Adoum is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Stars Jeunes Talents has been clear about where Abdramane Adoum stands, which is more than many ever get.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Abdoulaye Haroun to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
