Squad

A fracture rules Mert Müldür out for 82 days

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

Match

Hatayspor are in real trouble now

Position 17, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market

Chandrel Massanga asks to leave Hatayspor

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom

An order from above at Hatayspor: somebody has to go

Balance sheets do not care about form or about who the manager was planning to build around. The board have decided a sale is required, and the only question left is which name ends up carrying it.

Match

4 matches without a win for Hatayspor

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Hatayspor are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words at Hatayspor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nicolás Aguirre 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ünal Durmuşhan

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Sharif Osman says Hatayspor went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Nicolás Aguirre 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.

Squad

Recep Burak Yılmaz 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 Hatayspor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Adana Demirspor take the points off Hatayspor

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Ersin Destanoğlu

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ersin Destanoğlu, and the manager let it.
