The knee: Belkacem Brahimi out for 81 days
81 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. ASO Chlef lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

A fracture rules Mohamed Benaceur out for 23 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason ASO Chlef will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Ibrahim Farhi 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.

ASO Chlef promote Riyad Guedioura from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Riyad Guedioura 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.

ASO Chlef promote Hicham Belmadi from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hicham Belmadi 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.
