The words a physio says slowly. 37 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.
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 40 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
The words a physio says slowly. 48 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.
A season average of 7.05 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. WAFA know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.
Emmanuel Addo 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.
The words a physio says slowly. 90 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.

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Andre Schlupp: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.
2 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Great Olympics the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that WAFA will enjoy reviewing.
Nana Appiah had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Medeama were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.
