Squad

Yannick Masra damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 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

Chastening afternoon for Aiglons

A 1‑4 beating by AS PSI was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Player ratings

A debut Fabien Djedanoum will not forget — 7.30

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.30 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad

Fabien Djedanoum is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Aiglons

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

Djibrine Adoum has improved at 25, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 4 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Tempers go at Aiglons

Djibrine Adoum 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.

Market

Aiglons promote Mahamat Doungous from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mahamat Doungous 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.

One of our own: Ezechiel Allamine joins the Aiglons first team

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

In brief
