Aymen Bendaoud damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 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.

Match21 Nov 2026

The wait goes on for USM Khenchela

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Miguel Sansores 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 USM Khenchela this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Reece Braithwaite 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.

Jacob Morales was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.55. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

No hiding place for Sid Ali Lakroum

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sid Ali Lakroum, and the manager let it.

Nothing got past Hadji Chekal

30 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Match24 Oct 2026

Still nobody has beaten USM Khenchela

The unbeaten run reaches 7. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Serge Badjo shuts the door

Defensive actions: 17, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad26 Oct 2026

9 new faces, and USM Khenchela are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Oussama Litim signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Oussama Litim and USM Khenchela agree another 2 years.

Market3 Aug 2026

USM Khenchela and Oussama Litim are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at USM Khenchela has picked up the phone to Serge Badjo

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at USM Khenchela

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
