A fracture rules Mohamed Rashid out for 110 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al Shaab will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Both of them Rashid Al Suwaidi's — 8.69
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.69, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Al Shaab supporters have found a favourite in Rashid Al Suwaidi
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Rashid Al Suwaidi has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
