From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Abdoulaye Diaby breaks a bone — 47 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 47 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Gladson 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at BA All Stars

Gladson Gyan 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.

Squad

Christian Adjei signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Christian Adjei commits to BA All Stars for another 4 years.

Loan watch

Nana Appiah has seen enough of Inter Allies

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at BA All Stars, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout

Andre Mensah knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at BA All Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Abdoulaye Diaby breaks a bone — 54 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 54 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Words exchanged at BA All Stars

Gladson Djiku 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.

Squad

Words at BA All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thomas Partey 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.

Match

Great Olympics take the points off BA All Stars

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Gladson Djiku

Marked 8.23 — 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.

The dugout

Christian Djiku faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Christian Djiku after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Player ratings

Kwadwo Amoah beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 15. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Lassana Bagayoko

Nobody at BA All Stars is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Player ratings

Boubacar Camara changes it off the bench

He was not in the side at half past three and he had settled it before five. Half an hour, and BA All Stars had a different afternoon.

In brief

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Abdoulaye Diaby out for 61 days

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

Loan watch

Jeffrey Acquah wants to come home

“I did not go to Inter Allies to sit and watch. I want to come back to BA All Stars and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 9 matches say the rest.

Squad

A falling-out at BA All Stars

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

Match

A bad afternoon for BA All Stars against Wa All Stars

0‑2 to Wa All Stars, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Abraham Annan

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

The dugout

Christian Djiku faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Christian Djiku after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad

Jonathan Waris named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Jonathan Waris is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

Gladson Djiku beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

Andre Mensah left out for tactical reasons at BA All Stars

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
