Marked for Gladson Asante

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad22 Nov 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Jordan Roberts

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

Squad22 Nov 2027

A fracture rules Gladson Asante out for 19 days

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

Match22 Nov 2027

The view from the top for Asante Kotoko

25 points, and the rest of the division looking up. Every side that finishes first spends the season pretending it is not thinking about it, and this one has started pretending.

Match20 Nov 2027

Asante Kotoko cannot stop winning

6 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Peter Amidu Acquah, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.65

A mark of 7.65 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market22 Nov 2027

Ikenna Nkwazema is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Asante Kotoko is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Asante Kotoko

Kwame Opoku 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 dugout22 Nov 2027

Zakaria Fuseini frozen out at Asante Kotoko

This is not rotation. Zakaria Fuseini has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Asante Kotoko is pretending otherwise.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Words at Asante Kotoko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abraham Bukari 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 Upbeat

Squad15 Nov 2027

The knee: Jordan Roberts out for 65 days

65 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Asante Kotoko lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Gladson Asante breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market15 Nov 2027

Bernard Somuah 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 Asante Kotoko, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Asante Kotoko

Ernest Essien 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.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Words at Asante Kotoko training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Peter Amidu Acquah 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.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

No hiding place for Andrews Ntim

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrews Ntim, and the manager let it.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

Mohamed Camara 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 Asante Kotoko, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

A promise honoured for Musa Hamzata

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Asante Kotoko told Musa Hamzata something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout15 Nov 2027

Elvis Baffour has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Asante Kotoko will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
