From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A fracture rules Osman Boakye out for 25 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

Eugene Amankwah keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Wa All Stars may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Wa All Stars say no — this time

The offer from Inter Allies for Abeiku Sulemana was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match

Wa All Stars come up short against Medeama

Medeama left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Amos Adjei 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.

Squad

Achraf Hermach 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Osman Boakye breaks a bone — 91 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 91 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

The wait goes on for Wa All Stars

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Osman Boakye 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Osman Boakye breaks a bone — 105 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 105 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Abeiku Acquah, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.83

A mark of 7.83 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Inusah Adam: 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

Osman Boakye 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.

Player ratings

Amos Adjei runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Great Olympics take the points off Wa All Stars

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

Squad

No hiding place for Joseph Nathaniel

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

Match

Abeiku Acquah answers Great Olympics immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Abeiku Acquah had Wa All Stars level again within 2 minutes, and Great Olympics never got to play with a lead at all.

Player ratings

A costly moment from Bernard Afful

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Wa All Stars, and it is a cruel one.
