Amro Tarek damages knee ligaments — 68 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 68 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.

Match25 Sep 2027

A hiding for Al Gaish

Beaten 0‑3 by El Dakhleya, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Amr Nasser keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Al Gaish may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match25 Sep 2027

The wait goes on for Al Gaish

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A falling-out at Al Gaish

Karim Tarek and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Words at Al Gaish training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Camacho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Al Gaish count the cost of losing Bassem Elneny

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom27 Sep 2027

Inquest at Al Gaish

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑3 defeat, delivered by Mohamed Trezeguet to a room that had heard them before.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Amro Tarek

97 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al Gaish lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market30 Aug 2027

Ghaith Al-Madadha asks to leave Al Gaish

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings30 Aug 2027

Ghaith Al-Madadha beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Words exchanged at Al Gaish

Tawfik Mohamed and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Al Gaish rebuffed over Mahmoud Abou-Gouda

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zamalek have kept their man, and Al Gaish go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A row about effort at Al Gaish

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

Squad30 Aug 2027

Al Gaish lose Bassem Elneny

46 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Al Gaish ask about Lucas Fogaça

A loan enquiry to Marco 09: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Mohamed Trezeguet was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Al Gaish dressing room was either.
