The Sassuolo Herald
Squad24 Aug 2026
A knee injury of the worst kind for Niccolò Canzian
30 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sassuolo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Denis Şandro puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sassuolo, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market24 Aug 2026
Sassuolo turn down CSM Slatina for Denis Şandro
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Kristian Thorstvedt ran the middle of the pitch — 7.88
He won it back and then made something of it, which is two jobs and the reason the scoreline looks the way it does. 13 combined actions and a mark of 7.88, and not one of them will make a highlights package.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Sassuolo rebuffed over Gustavo Barros
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Villefranche have kept their man, and Sassuolo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match22 Aug 2026
AC Milan take the points off Sassuolo
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Kieron Bowie
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kieron Bowie, and the manager let it.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Davide Locatelli to a room that had heard them before.
Market24 Aug 2026
Carrarese expected to open talks for Filippo Romagna
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Sassuolo will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
