By: Alusine Rehme Wilson

Onward to Sunday’s Sierra Leone Premier League match day-22 encounter between Wusum Stars Football Club and Mighty Blackpool Football Club, AWE-Media.SL awexamines the worrying and welcoming team news of the host.

What’s the Worrying News: The host Wusum Stars Football Club who are currently seated on 5th place in the league table with 34 points after 21 games will for the first time be forced to make a slight change in their starting-Xi upfront as one of their star forwards Sulaiman S. Kargbo’s injury status remain unclear since he was replaced in their match day-20 clash against the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces Football Club-(RSLAF) after he picked an injury in his left leg.

The forward who have made an overall total of eighteen appearances for the Bombali based Sierra Leone Premier League returnees in the Sierra Leone Premier League since he joined the team on loan from Sahid Conteh-U Football Club has netted five goals and is currently 9th on the list of the ongoing championship’s goal kings list.

His absence however will pose less threats on the Mighty Blackpool defense when they face each other in their Sunday, match day-22 encounter.

What’s the Welcoming News: experienced winger and midfielder of Wusum Stars Football Club Abass Push Kanu may return to Head coach Abdulrahman Turay’s squad effective this Sunday following the completion of his three match sanctions levied on him by the club’s top management over allegations of incitements and production of team’s supporters jerseys which he has since denied to be untrue.

Kanu who’s the all time most capped player of Wusum Stars is also the team’s longest serving team captain and his potential return to the squad will be a big boost to the rest of the players and of course will excite his huge fans as well as other supporters of the club.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them.

England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200.

These scans, which determine the age of the players, revealed discrepancies that led to their removal from the tournament.

The updated rules stipulate that if a team has more than four players deemed ineligible after the MRI eligibility test, the entire team will be disqualified. The MRI tests, used to enforce age restrictions in youth competitions, are crucial for ensuring fairness. Unfortunately, the teams from these three nations did not meet the age criteria, resulting in their disqualification. This decision has come as a significant disappointment for the young players and their fans, w...
