49 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Dnepr Mogilev lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Squad16 Nov 2026
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Dnepr Mogilev will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Squad16 Nov 2026
Kirill Kirilenko and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Loan watch16 Nov 2026
“I watch every Dnepr Mogilev game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Lida runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Andrey Potapenko falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
The dugout16 Nov 2026
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.

Egor Karpitskiy damages knee ligaments — 70 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 70 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
The dugout26 Oct 2026
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Dnepr Mogilev may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Market26 Oct 2026
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Dnepr Mogilev is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The manager makes an example of Roman Piletskiy
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch19 Oct 2026
“I did not go to Lida to sit and watch. I want to come back to Dnepr Mogilev and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Sergey Rusak gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Muzaffar Gurbanov falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Dnepr Mogilev lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match29 Aug 2026
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Slonim, and it could have been more.
Match26 Aug 2026
Dinamo Brest go through and Dnepr Mogilev go home, 1‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Squad31 Aug 2026
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.
Squad31 Aug 2026
1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.
Match29 Aug 2026
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Dnepr Mogilev did not have in the autumn.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Pavel Sedich has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Dnepr Mogilev they have already started talking about him in the past tense.
Squad31 Aug 2026
Egor Karpitskiy and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings31 Aug 2026
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.51, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

A brace, and Egor Karpitskiy takes the afternoon — 8.78
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Egor Karpitskiy provided it, and the 8.78 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Market3 Aug 2026
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Dnepr Mogilev have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
Squad3 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Dmitriy Lisakovich and Dnepr Mogilev agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Squad3 Aug 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Dnepr Mogilev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The terraces3 Aug 2026
At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
The dugout3 Aug 2026
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Words at Dnepr Mogilev training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roman Piletskiy is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Match1 Aug 2026
Late, late show earns Dnepr Mogilev a point
Minute 95, against Volna Pinsk, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
