Squad

A fracture rules Alex Obafemi out for 30 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.

Squad

Abeiku Schlupp keeps Wa All Stars in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Afriyie Boakye in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Jeffrey Ofori 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Samuel Kyereh

He is 18 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Edmund Boateng the difference as Wa All Stars beat Aduana Stars

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Edmund Boateng. 1‑0 against Aduana Stars, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Kamaldeen Kyereh kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Player ratings

Mohammed Addo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Baba Asante

“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 Steady

Squad

Alex Obafemi breaks a bone — 60 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 60 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Mohammed Addo says Wa All Stars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Afriyie Boakye in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Baba Asante

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Looking ahead

Mohammed Addo faces his old club

WAFA next, and one man in the Wa All Stars dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad

Baba Appiah wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Wa All Stars will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Player ratings

Edmund Boateng scores twice — 8.26

Two goals and a mark of 8.26 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Baba Asante asks to leave Wa All Stars

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Victor Torisheju in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Wa All Stars get the job done against Berekum Chelsea

A 3‑1 win over Berekum Chelsea, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

A row about effort at Wa All Stars

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

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Victor Torisheju

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout

Kamaldeen Kyereh has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Kamaldeen Kyereh on a 3‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Player ratings

Souleymane Soumare was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 13. 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.

Squad

Victor Torisheju is off the mark for Wa All Stars

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
