The words a physio says slowly. 93 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.
37 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Mohammed Nuhu 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.
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.
In brief
Player ratingsOff the bench and decisive: Yaw Annor
MarketThe window shut and Yaw Annor is still in the building
Successful dribbles: 52. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Thomas Waris damages knee ligaments — 100 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 100 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.
The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Asante Kotoko moved on, Isaac Baba reports back to Wa All Stars, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.
Joseph Afful 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.
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Kwame Schlupp is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Wa All Stars
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed Nuhu 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.
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Albert Adjei has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

$810.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.
The offer from Great Olympics for Amos Asante 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.
He is going to Medeama, the club has $810.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Wa All Stars can pretend not to have heard.

SquadMohammed Wakaso falls out with a teammate over standards
115 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.

Wa All Stars spend $44.0K on the signing the town wanted
It is the rarest sequence in football: supporters ask for something, and the club goes and does it. $44.0K for Yaw Annor, and for one week nobody is complaining about anything.

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Godfred Yawson from Bechem United for $150.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.
