From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Gonzalo Godoy out for 41 days

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

Squad

Souleymane Coulibaly damages knee ligaments — 59 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 59 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Moussa Ballo

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Matías Lozano hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Afrique Foot Elite can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Daniel Owusu keeps Afrique Foot Elite in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Gonzalo Godoy 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 Afrique Foot Elite this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Afrique Foot Elite against Etoiles du Mande

0‑2 to Etoiles du Mande, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

Sanele Sikhosana ran the game

Chances created: 4. Not on the scoresheet and not remotely anonymous — a passing performance that pulled a defence apart without leaving a mark on the column that gets read.

Market

The Souleymane Coulibaly talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Afrique Foot Elite know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The Afrique Foot Elite Sentinel

26 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Zoumana Coulibaly

99 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Afrique Foot Elite lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

Hamari Fofana could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.30

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.30, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Match

Moussa Ballo wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Moussa Ballo found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and AS Police went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Player ratings

Shedrack Asiegbu runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Naman Doumbia says Afrique Foot Elite 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.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Afrique Foot Elite — 7.95

1 for Moussa Ballo, marked 7.95, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Tempers go at Afrique Foot Elite

Gonzalo Godoy 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.

Squad

Matías Lozano 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.

Match

Moussa Ballo sends Afrique Foot Elite past AS Police

It finished 2‑1, and it was Moussa Ballo’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Afrique Foot Elite.

In brief

The Wa All Stars Courier

19 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Nobody wants to play Wa All Stars right now

8 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match

Wa All Stars tear BA All Stars apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against BA All Stars, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

A brace, and Francis Waris takes the afternoon — 8.15

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Francis Waris provided it, and the 8.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad

Joseph Nathaniel 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 keep winning on the road

4 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Player ratings

Harrison Ofori in the eights

A performance of 8.14 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Wa All Stars

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Jeffrey Atiemo named player of the week

One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Jeffrey Atiemo has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

Squad

Amos Appiah 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.

In brief
