Eliud Lokuwam breaks a bone — 139 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 139 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Harrison Mwendwa 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.

Words at Posta Rangers training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Taoufik Safsafi 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.

A fracture rules Lewis Shivachi out for 68 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Posta Rangers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

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

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Ulinzi Stars will be the happier side with the point.

A chastening introduction for Izzadin Juma — 5.75
It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.75 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Taoufik Safsafi 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.

Posta Rangers sell a favourite for $66.0K
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Lazarazu Otieno was one of the reasons people came, and $66.0K does not replace that by itself.
