Squad7 Dec 2026

Abeiku Mohammed breaks a bone — 71 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 71 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Remember the name: Edmund Djiku

He is 20, he is averaging 7.00, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Jayden Adams was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. 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.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Jeffrey Addo 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Loan watch7 Dec 2026

Baba Amoah counts the days

“I watch every Liberty Professionals game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at New Edubiase United runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match5 Dec 2026

Liberty Professionals come up short against Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom7 Dec 2026

$2.9M on the table at Liberty Professionals

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Joseph Amoah to a room that had heard them before.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emmanuel Asamoah 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad16 Nov 2026

92 days out for Abeiku Mohammed after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Liberty Professionals will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Sunday Nwankwo: 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.” Liberty Professionals have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings16 Nov 2026

Musa Afeez was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. 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.

Squad16 Nov 2026

David Sadiq signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” David Sadiq and Liberty Professionals agree another 4 years.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

Jayden Adams and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Emmanuel Asamoah 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.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Half-satisfied: Joseph Amoah on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

Market16 Nov 2026

No place for Patrick Ayew in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Patrick Ayew has his answer from Liberty Professionals; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The form table has caught Christian Boakye

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Match3 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals run riot against Hasaacas

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

No sign of nerves from Edmund Djiku at 20 — 9.67

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Edmund Djiku did not need any: 9.67, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad5 Oct 2026

3 goals for Edmund Djiku

The match ball belongs to Edmund Djiku, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match3 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Liberty Professionals have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Jayden Adams 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Patrick Ayew at Liberty Professionals

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Patrick Ayew is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Loan watch5 Oct 2026

Baba Amoah has seen enough of New Edubiase United

“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 Liberty Professionals, and 0 appearances in 8 say he has earned the hearing.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Gladson Addo 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Emmanuel Asamoah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • The dugout David Andrew knocks on the manager’s door
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Gladson Addo

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Erick Mokoena turns down Liberty Professionals

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Free State Stars keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals

Jeffrey 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No deal for Albert Kwasi at that price

Liberty Professionals offered $31.0K; Hearts of Oak said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Hasaacas tell Liberty Professionals: Joseph Djiku is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Samuel Acquah

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Emmanuel Asamoah 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.

Market24 Aug 2026

The Thomas Partey conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Great Olympics will make the call about Thomas Partey this week. Liberty Professionals have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals ask about Antonio Van Wyk

A loan enquiry to Mamelodi Sundowns: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Joseph Bukari signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joseph Bukari commits to Liberty Professionals for another 3 years.

Market10 Aug 2026

BA All Stars come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Liberty Professionals did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Not going: Patrick Ayew stays at Liberty Professionals

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Great Olympics had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jeffrey Addo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jeffrey Addo commits to Liberty Professionals for another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Jeffrey Addo 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals count the cost of losing Kwame Kyereh

52 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No place for David Andrew in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Liberty Professionals are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Francis Partey signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Francis Partey commits to Liberty Professionals for another 2 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

New Edubiase United watching Baba Amoah

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Liberty Professionals have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Emmanuel Asamoah 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.

Liberty Professionals ask about Louis Umoh

A loan enquiry to Kun Khalifat: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Hlompho Lorch is in the works

Liberty Professionals have made the call to Free State Stars. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Jeffrey Addo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Liberty Professionals, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Francis Partey's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

Edmund Djiku linked with a move away

The name of Edmund Djiku keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Liberty Professionals say nothing, which says plenty.
