Mehdi Bourabia damages knee ligaments — 136 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 136 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.
Match29 Mar 2027
JS Kabylie are in among the leaders
Position 2 and 50 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Abdelhak Cherir has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around JS Kabylie they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Mehdi Bourabia 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 JS Kabylie this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Olympique Akbou take the points off JS Kabylie
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Nobody could get near Jaredi Teixeira
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Mohamed Réda Hamidi gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Boardroom29 Mar 2027
Doors closed at JS Kabylie
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

JS Kabylie keep their word to Hamza Mouali
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.
