The Warri Wolves Courier
Squad18 Jan 2038
A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael Kalu
22 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Warri Wolves lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Chibueze Lambert keeps Warri Wolves in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Mandla Phiri breaks a bone — 25 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 25 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Warri Wolves
Anthony Nwadioha 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.
Match16 Jan 2038
A bad afternoon for Warri Wolves against Nasarawa United
0‑2 to Nasarawa United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The Godwin Oham question follows Warri Wolves around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Godwin Oham’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Nobody could get near Abraham Osayi-Samuel
Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

An afternoon Emmanuel Onyekuru will want back
Marked 5.75. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

Henry Madu leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Henry Madu leaves Warri Wolves the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
In brief
