The formation has left Oleksandr Svatok behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Oleksandriya will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

A loan move for Jovan Marković is in the works
Oleksandriya have made the call to Farul Constanța. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Oleksandriya ask about Kewin Komar
A loan enquiry to Motor Lublin: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
