42 days out for Adel Al-Hosani after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Sharjah will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Kodjo Laba: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sharjah have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Kodjo Laba 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 Sharjah this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match25 Sep 2027
Sharjah see off Al Dhafra
Three points for Sharjah, 1‑0 the final word against Al Dhafra in a contest settled by the finer margins.
Player ratings27 Sep 2027
Nobody on the pitch touched Firas Ben Larbi
7.74, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Sharjah had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
The dugout27 Sep 2027
Faisal Suqrat: “That is the standard”
“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

When it matters, Luan Pereira plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The plan did not have a place for Igor Coronado
Nobody at Sharjah is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.
Looking ahead27 Sep 2027
Khaled Ebraheim goes back to face Baniyas
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Khaled Ebraheim’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Sharjah needing him to play as if none of it matters.
In brief
- Squad Khalid Nader makes his debut at 16
- Market The Ousmane Camara talk will not go away
- Market Sharjah put Kodjo Laba up for sale
