Squad2 Nov 2026

The knee: Baba Asante out for 15 days

15 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Liberty Professionals lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Ernest Mensah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

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

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mohammed Fatau 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.

Market2 Nov 2026

Talks stall between Liberty Professionals and Emmanuel Nnaji

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Samuel Schlupp was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Liberty Professionals dressing room was either.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Kwame Gyan stuck behind a signing at Liberty Professionals

He is 24, he is from here, and the shirt he was raised to wear has gone to somebody bought for it. The academy staff have noticed, and so has the town.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

The form table has caught Andrew Ayew

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Mohammed Fatau does not fit this one

Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Baba Asante

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

Squad26 Oct 2026

Ifeagwu Ojukwu 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.

Match24 Oct 2026

The run is over for Liberty Professionals

6 matches without defeat, and then Hearts of Oak. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Match24 Oct 2026

Hearts of Oak take the points off Liberty Professionals

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Kolawole Sheriff

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

The dugout26 Oct 2026

A promise honoured at Liberty Professionals

Something was said to Vince Osuji and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Samuel Schlupp answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

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

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The form table has caught Anthony Cletus

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
