Squad

A fracture rules Ahmed Ghoneim out for 123 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Petrojet will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Gabriel Chukwudi agrees terms with Aswan

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Petrojet people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets

Abdelrahman Magdy due for a Petrojet medical

Everything agreed with Aswan, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Match

4 matches without a win for Petrojet

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Petrojet are no longer polite ones.

Boardroom

6 academy players handed senior numbers at Petrojet

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

A row about effort at Petrojet

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ahmed Yassin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

ENPPI tell Petrojet: Mohamed Tarek is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

One of our own: Karim Kahraba joins the Petrojet first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Karim Kahraba is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Petrojet promote Bassem Ashour from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bassem Ashour has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
