Squad

Erick Otieno breaks a bone — 103 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 103 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Kacper Trelowski

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

Raków Częstochowa make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Raków Częstochowa have 5 straight wins of it.

Squad

Words at Raków Częstochowa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Romário Baró 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.

The terraces

Raków Częstochowa supporters have found a favourite in Kacper Trelowski

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Kacper Trelowski has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Bogdan Mirčetić the difference as Raków Częstochowa beat GKS Katowice

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Bogdan Mirčetić. 2‑0 against GKS Katowice, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

The game went through Michael Ameyaw — 7.62

Marked 7.62 on 10 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

Squad

Fran Tudor 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 Raków Częstochowa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Arkadiusz Grosicki has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Arkadiusz Grosicki on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Sidy Sanokho

“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.

The dugout

Moutir Chajia has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Suduva will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Omran Haydary linked with a move away

The name of Omran Haydary keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Suduva say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

A row about effort at Suduva

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Amadou Sabo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Suduva

Petar Bosančić 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.

The dugout

Amadou Sabo gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Amadou Sabo is on it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

A falling-out at Suduva

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

Squad

Suduva are still strangers to each other

13 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

When it matters, Marko Pavlovski 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.

Match

Moutir Chajia sends Suduva through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Moutir Chajia obliged against Trakai. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Suduva.

Player ratings

Moutir Chajia scores twice — 8.17

Two goals and a mark of 8.17 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets

$36.0K settles it between the clubs for Oyinlola Kayode

Kauno Zalgiris have accepted the money. What Suduva do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Boardroom

Suduva go back to the board over Oyinlola Kayode

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $35.6K — a club that wants Oyinlola Kayode enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Teodor Ivanov due for a Suduva medical

Everything agreed with CSKA Sofia, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Amadou Sabo 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.

Transfer targets

Utenis tell Suduva: Lukas Dubickas is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

A falling-out at Suduva

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

The terraces

One of their own: Ibrahima Seck

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

In brief

  • Player ratings One of those days for Amadou Sabo
  • Squad Too much change too quickly at Suduva
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
