The knee: Semelo Gueï out for 37 days
37 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. JS Saoura lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Abdenasser Djoudar breaks a bone — 14 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 14 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Ashraf Warda: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” JS Saoura have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Juba Oukaci frozen out at JS Saoura
This is not rotation. Juba Oukaci has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at JS Saoura is pretending otherwise.

Tempers go at JS Saoura
Riyane Akacem 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.

MB Rouissat take the points off JS Saoura
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

No hiding place for Constant Wayou
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Constant Wayou, and the manager let it.

Interim Coach faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Sofiane Belmadi stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Sofiane Belmadi and JS Saoura agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
In brief
- Looking ahead JS Saoura take on the side everybody is chasing
- Market Ashraf Warda is free to find somewhere else
- Looking ahead Juba Oukaci faces his old club
