Squad

Yassin Yasser damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 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.

Squad

Alexandre Oukidja keeps Al Ahly in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

ES Ben Aknoun come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Al Ahly did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Al Ahly — 7.66

1 for Marwan Ateya, marked 7.66, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Squad

Emam Ashour 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 Al Ahly this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Mohamed Seha has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Al Ahly they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Zizo

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Al Ahly training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Zizo 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.

Market

Eyes on Ibrahim El Asyuti again

The phone has started ringing about Ibrahim El Asyuti again, and this time the name on the line is Arab Contractors. Al Ahly are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Yassin Yasser

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al Ahly lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Player ratings

A brace, and Mohamed Sherif takes the afternoon — 8.64

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Mohamed Sherif provided it, and the 8.64 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Hesham Mostafa puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al Ahly, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Al Ahly turn down Military Production for Hady Reyad

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

Squad

A move Islam Gaber would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Islam Gaber is living that version at Al Ahly, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Al Ahly get their man

The chase for Islam Gaber ended with $580.0K changing hands and Arab Contractors out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Tempers go at Al Ahly

Emam Ashour 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.

Squad

Zizo 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.

Match

Mohamed Sherif sends Al Ahly past Police Union

It finished 3‑1, and it was Mohamed Sherif’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Al Ahly.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Yassin Yasser

31 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al Ahly lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Al Ahly tear Masr El Makasa apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Masr El Makasa, and it could have been more.

Squad

A day Mohamed Sherif will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

Al Ahly say no — this time

The offer from Plateau United for Ahmed Kouka was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Reindorf Huncho puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al Ahly, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Emam Ashour 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 Al Ahly this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Ziad Farag is a Al Ahly player

The fee is $210.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. El Masry drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Marwan Ateya

22 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.

Market

Eyes on Taher Mohamed again

The phone has started ringing about Taher Mohamed again, and this time the name on the line is Shooting Stars. Al Ahly are listening politely and promising nothing.
