Achille Moukandjo damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 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.

Match

6 matches without a win for Aigle Royal de Moungo

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Aigle Royal de Moungo are no longer polite ones.

Match

6 matches without a goal for Aigle Royal de Moungo

Yann Ntomba 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 The request is on a desk at Aigle Royal de Moungo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Marc Njango has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

Real improvement from Yann Ntomba at Aigle Royal de Moungo

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Yann Ntomba is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Olivier Kouoh Dicka 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 Aigle Royal de Moungo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Aigle Royal de Moungo come up short against Gazelle Garoua

Gazelle Garoua left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Olivier Kouoh Dicka

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

The Alianza Petrolera deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Daniel Riascos reports back to Valledupar with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Squad

Jesus Zapata 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 Valledupar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Valledupar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. João Cavalcante 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.

Squad

Gabriel Martinez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gabriel Martinez commits to Valledupar for another 3 years.

Squad

Jesus Zapata knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jesus Zapata trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

Jose Romero leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Jose Romero leaves Valledupar the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
