Squad18 Jan 2027

A fracture rules Ilja Salnikov out for 15 days

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

Market18 Jan 2027

Vsevolod Yeliseev hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Luki-Energiya can pretend not to have heard.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Luki-Energiya

Ilja Salnikov 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.

Squad18 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Luki-Energiya

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

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Nobody could get near Alexandr Galimov

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Dmitry Saganovich

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

Match16 Jan 2027

Irkutsk snatch it back from Luki-Energiya

A goal on 92 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Match16 Jan 2027

Luki-Energiya and Irkutsk take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Pavel Moiseev: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad21 Dec 2026

Ilja Salnikov breaks a bone — 43 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 43 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market21 Dec 2026

Igor Shestakov 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 Luki-Energiya, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Igor Kurbanov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Luki-Energiya have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Alexandr Kukharchuk was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 25. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Luki-Energiya

Ilja Salnikov 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words at Luki-Energiya training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Saganovich 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 ratings21 Dec 2026

The afternoon belonged to Yegor Pankov

A mark of 7.92, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match19 Dec 2026

Honours even between Luki-Energiya and Zenit 2

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Maxim Sergeev

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

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad7 Dec 2026

Ilja Salnikov breaks a bone — 57 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 57 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Innokentiy Chkalov

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Luki-Energiya lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market7 Dec 2026

Dmitry Saganovich 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 Luki-Energiya, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

Dmitry Melnik says Luki-Energiya 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.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Ilja Salnikov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ilja Salnikov commits to Luki-Energiya for another 3 years.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Ilja Salnikov 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 Luki-Energiya this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match5 Dec 2026

Yegor Pankov’s goal not enough for Luki-Energiya

Yegor Pankov scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Zvezda, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Alexandr Kukharchuk

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Loan watch7 Dec 2026

Daniil Vaulin counts the days

“I watch every Luki-Energiya game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Nart runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

In brief

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match19 Aug 2026

Luki-Energiya march on in the cup

Dinamo Barnaul are out and Luki-Energiya go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match19 Aug 2026

Alexey Pipo settles it late for Luki-Energiya

The 89th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Alexey Pipo decided nobody was going anywhere. Dinamo Barnaul had no time left to answer.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Alexandr Kukharchuk beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Igor Shestakov, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.97

A mark of 7.97 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad24 Aug 2026

6 saves: Vsevolod Yeliseev was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Up for the corner, and Alexey Pipo delivers — 7.65

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Alexey Pipo scored, was marked 7.65, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Luki-Energiya — 7.90

1 for Maxim Sergeev, marked 7.90, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Market24 Aug 2026

Artem Yegorov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Luki-Energiya they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

No thanks: Maxim Yurin rejects the move

Luki-Energiya had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Dinamo Moscow, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.
