From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Jonathan damages knee ligaments — 125 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 125 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Erick Flores 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

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Amos Djiku

Marked 8.19 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Loan watch

Afriyie Ofori keeps scoring at Cotonsport Garoua

24 appearances away from home and 12 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Dennis Konney

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jonathan

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

Match

6 matches without a win for Wa All Stars

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Wa All Stars are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Samuel Afful: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Wa All Stars have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Erick Flores 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

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Loan watch

Andrew Essien wants to come home

“I did not go to New Edubiase United to sit and watch. I want to come back to Wa All Stars and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 30 matches say the rest.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Daniel Boateng is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.66 with 39 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Daniel Asamoah keeps Wa All Stars in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

No end in sight to Wa All Stars's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wa All Stars has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Erick Flores 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.

Match

Liberty Professionals take the points off Wa All Stars

Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Amos Djiku 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.

Player ratings

Belal Ateya runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Loan watch

12 goals on loan for Afriyie Ofori

24 appearances at Cotonsport Garoua and the goals keep coming. Wa All Stars are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Loan watch

Kwame Bukari counts the days

“I watch every Wa All Stars game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at BA All Stars runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
