Squad16 Nov 2026

The knee: Abraham Paintsil out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wa All Stars lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad16 Nov 2026

25 days out for Chukwuma Collins after a fracture

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Wa All Stars lose Divine Lunga

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Afriyie Inusah 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 dugout16 Nov 2026

Abraham Annan 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.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Albert Baba question follows Wa All Stars around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Albert Baba’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Chukwuma Collins out for 54 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match14 Oct 2026

Wa All Stars march on in the cup

Great Olympics are out and Wa All Stars go through, 4‑2 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match14 Oct 2026

Wa All Stars refuse to lose, and Joseph Asante leads them

The 2-goal deficit was real and so was the recovery. Joseph Asante was at the centre of it, Great Olympics were at the end of it, and everybody who left early will hear about this one for years.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Both of them Joseph Asante's — 9.39

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.39, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad19 Oct 2026

7 saves: Albert Baba was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

No sign of nerves from Christian Adjei at 21 — 8.41

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Christian Adjei did not need any: 8.41, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad19 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Wa All Stars

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

Squad19 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Felix Gyan at Wa All Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Felix Gyan is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match17 Oct 2026

Still nobody has beaten Wa All Stars

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Chukwuma Collins out for 69 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Afriyie Inusah runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Jeffrey Gyan is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Wa All Stars

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

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Wa All Stars

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

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Christian Kyereh takes the honours

Marked 7.44 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Wa All Stars had the best player on the pitch.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Half-satisfied: Afriyie Paintsil on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Afriyie Essien dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match3 Oct 2026

Wa All Stars and Hearts of Oak cancel each other out

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