A fracture rules Romell Quioto out for 133 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al-Faisaly will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Chastening afternoon for Al-Faisaly
A 1‑4 beating by Al-Shabab was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Al-Ittihad come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Al-Faisaly did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Ibrahima N'Diaye 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 Al-Faisaly this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Al-Faisaly
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.

Al-Faisaly promote Salem Al-Ahmadi from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Salem Al-Ahmadi 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.

Al-Faisaly promote Khalid Al-Subaie from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Khalid Al-Subaie 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.

Hassan Al-Harbi steps up from the Al-Faisaly academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hassan Al-Harbi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
- Boardroom Nobody left the Al-Faisaly dressing room in a hurry
- Squad 5 new faces, and Al-Faisaly are still learning each other
- Player ratings A costly moment from Mohamed Absi
