A knee injury of the worst kind for Abdelrahman Saleh
93 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sharjah lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

11 seasons of Adel Al-Hosani
336 appearances across 11 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Sharjah know what they have.

Nobody could get near Luan Pereira
Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at Sharjah
Caio Lucas 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.

Graduation day at Sharjah
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Yoann Salmier signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yoann Salmier and Sharjah agree another 2 years.

A bad afternoon for Sharjah against Al Wasl
1‑2 to Al Wasl, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

One of our own: Bandar Al Kamali joins the Sharjah first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Bandar Al Kamali is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
In brief
- Market Ali Abdulrahman steps up from the Sharjah academy
- Market One of our own: Sultan Al Bloushi joins the Sharjah first team
