Akpan Nsikak-Abong damages knee ligaments — 96 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 96 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.

Peter Akinola asks to leave Kun Khalifat

“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.

Words at Kun Khalifat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Lekan 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 Kun Khalifat Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad20 Aug 2040

Defences have started doubling up on Akinkunmi Olayinka

28 goals and a season average of 7.34 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

No end in sight to Kun Khalifat's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kun Khalifat has to find a result from somewhere.

A brace, and Akinkunmi Olayinka takes the afternoon — 8.38

Daniel Ejuke says Kun Khalifat went back on their word

Gabriel Lekan 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.

Akpan Nsikak-Abong 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.

Match18 Aug 2040

Kun Khalifat share the spoils with Abia Warriors

A 2‑2 draw with Abia Warriors leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Nobody could get near Peter Akinola

Successful dribbles: 8. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Frank Osayi-Samuel leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Frank Osayi-Samuel leaves Kun Khalifat the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
