Baba Mohammed breaks a bone — 18 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 18 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at WAFA

Emmanuel Addo 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.

Baba Addo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Only the photograph left for Aliyu Hussaini

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

Emmanuel Addo 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.

A fracture rules Baba Mohammed out for 104 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.

Baba Addo says WAFA went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Harrison Amoah signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Harrison Amoah and WAFA agree another 2 years.

Boardroom7 Jun 2038

$2.7M on the table at WAFA

The board have answered with money instead of encouragement, which is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending it well is now entirely his problem.

The Emmanuel Addo question follows WAFA around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Emmanuel Addo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

In brief

  • Boardroom The WAFA production line keeps running
  • Boardroom WAFA board back the manager

Nana Wakaso pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Emmanuel Addo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at WAFA 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.

The manager makes an example of Baba Addo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
