Squad

Mohamed Hamami damages knee ligaments — 100 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 100 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.

Market

Aduana Stars come back empty-handed

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

Boardroom

Graduation day at Heart of Lions

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

Words at Heart of Lions training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ebenezer Abban 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Heart of Lions

Andrew Partey 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.

Match

Heart of Lions come up short against Aduana Stars

Aduana Stars left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Gladson Kudus steps up from the Heart of Lions academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gladson Kudus 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.

Market

Thomas Adjei steps up from the Heart of Lions academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thomas Adjei 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.

One of our own: Jeffrey Baba joins the Heart of Lions first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jeffrey Baba is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
