Khaled El Ghandour breaks a bone — 37 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The game went through Gideon Iliya — 6.99
Marked 6.99 on 12 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

El Sayed Ghaly steps up from the Smouha academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. El Sayed Ghaly 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.

Smouha find a way past Ghazl El Mahalla
Ghazl El Mahalla made Smouha work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Mohamed Dabash reaches 200 appearances
200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.
