Target includes week round desert, perhaps (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go awol

'desert perhaps' is the definition.

'target includes week round' is the wordplay.
'target' becomes 'goal' (I've seen this before).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'week' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object**).
'w'+'o'='wo'
'goal' placed around 'wo' is 'GO AWOL'.

(Another definition for go awol that I've seen is " Run off".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
