Squad

A fracture rules Francisco Bareiro out for 84 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason St. Gallen will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

St. Gallen up to position 3

26 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Market

Andrin Hunziker turns Zorya down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Andrea Favilli rejects the move

St. Gallen had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Avellino, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

A falling-out at St. Gallen

Lukas Görtler and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Words at St. Gallen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Chima Okoroji 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.

Squad

Vitor André signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vitor André commits to St. Gallen for another 4 years.

The dugout

When it matters, Chima Okoroji 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 dugout

Carlo Boukhalfa asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

91 days out for Francisco Bareiro after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. St. Gallen will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Mihailo Stevanović keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” St. Gallen may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Words at St. Gallen training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Chima Okoroji 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.

Transfer targets

St. Gallen rebuffed over Joaquín Freitas

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Flamengo have kept their man, and St. Gallen go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Andrea Consigli 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 St. Gallen this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Loris Zakaria steps up from the St. Gallen academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Loris Zakaria has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Vitor André signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vitor André commits to St. Gallen for another 4 years.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Betim Fazliji

“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.

Market

The Tom Gaal story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Tom Gaal signs something — a contract at St. Gallen or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief
