Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thomas Appiah

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Liberty Professionals lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joseph Ablorh 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.

Junior Elong puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Liberty Professionals, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Joseph Ablorh 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.
