أكد طارق محروس المدير الفني لفريق كرة اليد بالنادي الأهلي، أنه ينتظر قرارات اتحاد اليد بشأن استكمال الموسم الماضي.
وكان اتحاد اليد قد أعلن استكمال منافسات دورى المحترفين للرجال 2019 / 2020 يومى 1 و2 أبريل المقبلين بنفس شروط المسابقة لهذا الموسم.
إلا أن النادي الأهلي اعترض علي استكمال المسابقة بنفيس الشروط والقوائم القديمة، عكس الزمالك الذي أبدى موافقة على اللعب بالشروط.

وقال محروس خلال تصريحات خاصة لـ بطولات: “نحترم قرارات الاتحاد، ونتتظر القرار النهائي بشأن دوري الموسم الماضي”.
وأضاف: “الإصابات في الفريق وراء تراجع أداء اللاعبين في الشوط الثاني خلال مباريات دوري المحترفين”.
وتابع: “احتراف اللاعبين يفيد المنتخب الوطني في المقام الأول، ومصر لديها جيل قوي من اللاعبين”.
وأتم: “منتخب مصر به أزمة في مركز الجناح الشمال، ودوري المحترفين هذا العام هو الأقوي، بدليل أن كل مباراة تجد بها مفاجات كبيرة، والمنافسة على اللقب محتدمة”.
ويتصدر فريقا الأهلي والزمالك، جدول ترتيب دوري المحترفين لكرة اليد هذا الموسم برصيد 28 نقطة لكل منهما.
Some Charlton fans have taken to Twitter to mock the incident that saw Lee Bowyer sent from the touchline against Birmingham.
The 42-year-old was shown a red card late on as the Addicks lost 1-0 to Birmingham at The Valley, courtesy of a goal from 16-year-old Jude Bellingham.
Bowyer was sent off after appearing to leave his technical area to retrieve the ball, before throwing it in the direction of the Birmingham bench – the Charlton boss later accused the away side of wasting time by rolling the ball onto the pitch.
Given the harmless nature of the situation, a number of Charlton fans on Twitter have decided to mock the incident that saw their side’s manager sent off.
One sarcastically said that they were surprised the army wasn’t called in to calm Bowyer down, while another jibed that the former Birmingham midfielder “could’ve killed someone” – all in jest, of course.
Let’s take a look at some more of the Twitter reaction…

Marco Silva has revealed that he didn’t want to sell Ademola Lookman this summer as he believes he will go on to have a great career.
What did he say?
Everton signed Lookman in January 2017 but he failed to establish himself in the side, even under Silva last term after he impressed on loan at RB Leipzig in the six months prior, scoring five and assisting four in 11 appearances for the German side.
Naturally, the player grew restless and frustrated at his lack of game time, and the Everton boss has revealed he requested to leave last summer, before finally confirming his departure in a £22.5m move a few weeks ago.
Given his lack of minutes for the Toffees that price seemed fair, and was too good for the club to ignore, but Silva wishes the winger was still at Goodison Park.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, he said: “At the beginning of last season he spoke to me about his desire to leave the club. I said no, no and no, even if we received a very good offer to sell him, for our structure, no because I saw in him, and I keep seeing in him…[his quality].
“If you are asking me about my technical point of view, if I would like to sell him, I will say no.
“He has all the qualities to have a very good career. The quality is there, he has to change some things, but the quality is there.”
Regretful decision?
The Portuguese also explained that the 22-year-old was already unhappy when he first became manager, yet he started Lookman on only three occasions in the Premier League last year.
That was despite him hitting good form in his spell in the Bundesliga, and the fact he was likely high on confidence with a point to prove.
If he was already unhappy and desiring a move away, then Silva should have satisfied his wish to play more, particularly if he saw the quality and talent the youngster possesses.

It wasn’t as if Bernard, who played ahead of him, was undroppable last season. The Brazilian scored one and assisted five in 34 league games in 2018/19, but if Lookman was trusted to play regularly he could have achieved more, as his record for Leipzig suggests.
There is still a long way to go for the former Charlton man but he has proved his effectiveness at other clubs, and Everton could live to regret the fact they sold him so soon, without seeing what he really had to offer – and Silva must bear some of the blame.
This article is part of Football FanCast’s Loan Watch series, which takes a closer look at those players who are aiming to galvanise their careers away from the spotlight of their parent club.
Glenn Middleton’s late loan move to Hibernian raised a few eyebrows given the fractious relationship between the two clubs and their recent history.
What it did though was provide the youngster with an opportunity to impress in full view of Rangers fans and, more importantly, his manager, Steven Gerrard.
Middleton arrived at Rangers in January 2018 on a development contract from Norwich City. As a Rangers supporter growing up, he couldn’t pass up the chance to join his boyhood heroes. It didn’t take him long to make an impact at youth level, providing both goals and assists with his direct style of play and powerful running.
Gerrard arrived at the club in the summer of 2018 and Middleton was one of a few youth players to join the senior squad for pre-season training. He obviously impressed the new boss as he was promoted to the senior squad with immediate effect, earning a new contract to reflect this in October 2018.
He was thrown in at the deep end in the Europa League and impressed for an 18-year-old with no previous first team experience, he contributed with a goal and an assist against Spartak Moscow in a 4-3 defeat.
Middleton’s first team opportunities were limited once Ryan Kent found his feet and Scott Arfield was moved into a more advanced position, with Gerrard preferring Daniel Candeais as a back up. He still managed to finish with figures of 5 goals and 5 assists in 29 games, a goal contribution rate of 0.8 per 90 minutes.
This season Middleton was going to face a similar problem with the arrival of Jordan Jones, Sheyi Ojo, Brendan Barker, Jake Hastie and eventually Ryan Kent. At just 19-year-old, Middleton is the youngest and least experienced in terms of first team football so, playing games at senior level was always going to be key for his development this season.
In true Middleton fashion he started with an assist in his first game for Hibs.
The team have have struggled for form this season but he has still managed 2 assists in his first 6 appearances and played 71 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Celtic last weekend.
Add this to his 1 goal and 1 assist in 2 Scotland under 21 games (just 82 minutes of football) and it’s fair to say he’s enjoyed a solid start to the season without setting the world alight.
Middleton was outstanding in a 12 minute cameo against Croatia in a recent qualifier, winning the ball on the half-way line before beating three defenders to set up Connor McLennan to score the equaliser in a 2-1 victory.
Middleton has shown, in flashes, that he is capable of being a first team regular for Rangers.
His performance against Spartak Moscow away from home particularly supports this claim. With youth and inexperience comes inconsistency and the Ibrox club will be hoping that Middleton returns with plenty of games under his belt so that he can once again pull on the famous blue jersey.
The talent is there, he now has the opportunity to progress, if he does and with time on his side, Middleton could be a Gers fans’ favourite for years to come.
We may only be five games into the new Premier League campaign, but already the end-of-season cliches are being trotted out.
Newcastle find themselves third-bottom after a run of one win, one draw and three defeats. Steve Bruce’s side now face 16th-placed Brighton on Saturday, and Magpies skipper Jamaal Lascelles delivered an interesting verdict on the importance of the game.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the 25-year-old urged his side to pick up a much-needed win, and then went on to say that “these games are six-pointers”.
After hearing Lascelles’ comments, Newcastle fans flooded to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the situation.
Many supporters of the Tyneside club insisted it showed just how far the club have fallen, with one fan in particular saying it represented a “small club mentality”.
Others however leapt to Lascelles’ defence, and revealed that it is hugely important to ensure they pick up a win against fellow relegation candidates.
Check out some of the reaction of Newcastle fans below:

Eden Hazard’s start to his Real Madrid career hasn’t been as shiny as he probably would’ve liked.
So far, the great Belgian bomber has played a total of six games across all competitions for Los Blancos and has only managed to score and assist once in the process.
And while every player needs a certain adaptation period when coming to a new club, especially when that side is in a different league and a different country altogether, the 28-year-old’s price tag will soon demand more.

After all, the Galacticos forked out a reported sum of £89m to get their man from Chelsea, and they will undoubtedly want him to perform accordingly.
We don’t have to look much further than his latest outing with his national team to realise what he can do, even if it was against some international minnows.
Belgium faced San Marino in the seventh round of their European Championship qualifications and they completely dismantled their opposition, winning 9-0 in the end.
Hazard was very much a big part of that huge victory, contributing with two assists to his name in the process but doing so much more as well. The 28-year-old managed to tally four successful dribbles, a total of six key passes and maintained 92% passing accuracy as well.
These numbers don’t really lie and Hazard dropped a masterclass in the 63 minutes he spent on the pitch before he was taken off by the coach.
This performance should definitely catch the eye of Zinedine Zidane, his gaffer over at Real Madrid, as the Frenchman will want his big start to replicate that back in Spain as well.
Hazard is well capable of dropping these performances and while we are still waiting for his full emergence while donning the white kit of the Galacticos, it could very much just be a matter of time.
At Real Madrid they wait for no one, and the sooner Hazard can unleash his full potential, the better.
For him, the club and not so much for their opponents.
Following Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had some positive words for Magpies forward Joelinton.
Indeed, in quotes carried by The Chronicle, Klopp said that the striker was “outstanding” at Anfield and is “100% made for the Premier League”.
The 23-year-old has scored once in five Premier League appearances for Steve Bruce’s side in the early stages of the 2019/20 campaign.

And a number of Newcastle fans have been on social media discussing the Brazilian.
There are those who feel that Joelinton will prove a success at the club – ultimately scoring the goals to keep the team in the Premier League.
That said, there are also plenty of Newcastle supporters who feel that the South American is not the answer to the club’s goalscoring problems.
It will certainly be interesting to see how many times Joelinton manages to find the net between now and the end of the campaign.

In today’s Everton roundup, we take a look at the news doing the rounds surrounding the Toffees. Manager Marco Silva opens up on the sale of Ademola Lookman, Everton are handed an injury boost regarding Jean-Philippe Gbamin, and the club keeps tabs on youngster David Parkhouse.
Lookman sale a ‘business’ decision, says Silva

Report: When speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the Everton boss opened up about letting Lookman leave for RB Leipzig in July, after a positive five-month loan spell at the club previously. Silva said: “It was not the best thing for me because we can use him more and see more good things from Lookman this season but, in the end, it was not his desire and the club had to look at the business side also. It is what it is.”
Verdict: The report stated that Lookman had two years left on his Everton deal, and according to the words of Silva, it was not his decision to let him leave, but a business matter. Indeed, it was no surprise to see Lookman want to move on because the Englishman started as many league games for Leipzig in five months (7), as he did during all of his top flight campaigns with Everton combined, as per WhoScored.
Now, at 21 years old, it is clear to see that Lookman wants game time and to challenge for the main spot in his position. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no guarantee of that with the Toffees.
Gbamin avoids surgery
Report: As per the Liverpool Echo, Gbamin has avoided the need for surgery after injuring his quadriceps muscle during a training session last month. The report states he is out for at least eight weeks, but after Everton consulted with professionals, it was determined the 23-year-old will not have to go under the knife.
Verdict: Undoubtedly, this is great news for Everton. After signing in the summer for £22.5m, Toffees fans will have been excited to see what the versatile 23-year-old could bring. However, due to the injury sustained last month, Gbamin has only played twice for the club since moving to Merseyside.
Everton have endured a mixed start to the season and while that can’t be wholly blamed on one player, Morgan Schneiderlin’s three outings have yielded just one point for the Merseyside club. Gbamin represents a welcome and arguably much-needed alternative to the former Southampton man, although Silva will have to wait a while still before he can partner him with fellow summer arrival Fabian Delph.
Everton target ‘new Jamie Vardy’

Report: According to Football Insider, Everton have joined Celtic in the race to sign Sheffield United striker David Parkhouse. The 19-year-old impressed loan at League of Ireland Premier Division side Derry City last season and that, combined with his potential availability – he is out of contract at Bramhall Lane at the end of the season – appears to have generated some interest.
Verdict: Parkhouse bagged 10 goals in 27 Premier League games for Derry and also smashed in seven goals in just three League Cup ties, which includes a four-goal haul in the win over Waterford.
Clearly, the youngster has natural goalscoring talent and being labelled the ‘new Jamie Vardy’ is certainly a tag that comes with a lot of expectation, after the former England striker’s rise from the depths of non-league football to the top of the Premier League.
However, Everton face stern competition from Celtic and Blackburn for his signature – both are arguably more likely to give him first-team chances in less challenging leagues – while he could also agree new terms with the Blades.
Wherever Parkhouse ends up though, he seems like a name to keep an ear out for.
At least that’s what the latest rumours on social media would have you believe.
Twitter has been rampant with tales of a training ground bust up at the London club, and despite the fact that none of these rumours have been substantiated some people are believing every word.

Some of these reports were surrounding an apparent falling out between Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen, but the Belgian’s Twitter activity would suggest that these rumours are largely untrue.
A popular Spurs fan account shared a video of the pair walking into training together smiling, and Vertonghen liked that post – suggesting that there are no issues between the two players.
An act as simple as liking a tweet should put a lot of Spurs fans’ minds at rest.
Rather than getting worked up by rumours, the fanbase can now focus on getting behind the team ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
