Squad

A fracture rules Abraham Kyereh out for 60 days

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

Match

WAFA out of the cup

Bechem United ended it 1‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match

WAFA let it slip despite a squad player

a squad player had done his part in building a 2-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Wa All Stars were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Squad

6 saves: Samuel Owusu was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout

Andre Mohammed keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” WAFA may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Thomas Atiemo 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for WAFA against Wa All Stars

2‑3 to Wa All Stars, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

No hiding place for Baba Adjei

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Nana Schlupp left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Abraham Kyereh breaks a bone — 102 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 102 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Abraham Mohammed asks to leave WAFA

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

WAFA close the window on a squad of their own making

6 in and 8 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

Surprise Manthosi due for a WAFA medical

Everything agreed with Asante Kotoko, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

Only the photograph left for Samuel Gyan

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Samuel Gyan will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around WAFA the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

A falling-out at WAFA

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

Boardroom

Graduation day at WAFA

6 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.

Transfer targets

WAFA rebuffed over Divane Tchameni

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. New Edubiase United have kept their man, and WAFA go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Gladson Ayew joins the WAFA first team

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

In brief
