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.
Andre Inusah 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.
“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 Wa All Stars, and 0 appearances in 13 say he has earned the hearing.
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andre Ofori, and the manager let it.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Isaac Boateng was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Wa All Stars dressing room was either.
0‑3 against Heart of Lions, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.
The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Inter Allies are no longer polite ones.

Words at Inter Allies training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ebuka Ogbonna 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.
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
Bernard 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.
“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.
Match24 Oct 2026
After 6 games, Wa All Stars finally taste it again
The first defeat in 6 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Medeama; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.
Stephen Kwakye 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.
Match24 Oct 2026
Another one collected away from home
3 on the bounce on the road for Wa All Stars. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.
“I watch every Wa All Stars game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Inter Allies runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Isaac Boateng after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
Andre Inusah 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.
Three points for Wa All Stars, 1‑0 the final word against Hasaacas in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Andre Inusah was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.00. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
“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 Wa All Stars, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
Successful dribbles: 14. 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.
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.
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Vincent Anane has just signed for Inter Allies, and for once the answer mattered.
Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $61.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.
Inter Allies asked and Albacete said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Inter Allies are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
There is a particular relief in a club addressing the thing its own crowd has been shouting about. Abdul-Aziz Nurudeen arrives for exactly that job, and now he has to do it.
“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.
The offer from Sirens for David Mohammed 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.
Add another name to the list: Javor-Matis have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Daouda Kone. The answer from Wa All Stars has not changed — yet.
The deal with Liberty Professionals is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Marbella have kept their man, and Wa All Stars go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Andre Inusah 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.
$61.0K on the table at Aduana Stars. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Evrard Zag 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.
There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Sodiq Kazeem is living that version at Inter Allies, and it tends to show in the first month.

Odirah Ntephe 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.
Signings arrive with a picture of the club in their head, and this one’s picture was bigger than the building. He will play well and he will be gone, in that order, and everybody knows it.
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Inter Allies are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Inter Allies, another week without a signature from Olufemi Kayode.
It is the least glamorous business a club does and the reason seasons do not collapse in February. Rivio Ayemwenre is here for the weeks when three men are injured and somebody still has to play.
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Abdul Schlupp had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
The offer from Inter Allies for Bernard Boakye 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.
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Wa All Stars have done the hard part with Rivers United, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Hearts of Oak is saying, and nobody at Wa All Stars is enjoying the guessing.
Add another name to the list: BA All Stars have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about David Mohammed. The answer from Wa All Stars has not changed — yet.
Daouda Kone 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.
Wa All Stars have made the call to Ikorodu City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Wisdom Magbisa has, at Inter Allies, and the first month will show what that does to a man.
Inter Allies asked and Wa All Stars said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ebuka Ogbonna was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thomas Asante has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
“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.
The phone has started ringing about Yaw Nuhu again, and this time the name on the line is Asante Kotoko. Wa All Stars are listening politely and promising nothing.
Everything agreed with Hearts of Oak, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.
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.
Wa All Stars asked and Rangers International said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Albert Wakaso was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Wa All Stars, and both men came out saying it was fine.
