A knee injury of the worst kind for Marco Tumminello
40 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sandefjord lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Elias Jemal 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 Sandefjord can pretend not to have heard.

Nikolaj Möller has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Sandefjord they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

A row about effort at Sandefjord
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jakob Dunsby was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Sandefjord come up short against Haugesund
Haugesund left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Elias Hadaya gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Tempers go at Sandefjord
Henrik Skretteberg was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Interim Coach faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Interim Coach after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
Looking ahead18 Jun 2029
Silas Novrup goes back to face Sarpsborg 08
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Silas Novrup’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Sandefjord needing him to play as if none of it matters.
In brief
- Market Elias Hadaya linked with a move away
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Jakob Dunsby
- Market Still no ink between Sandefjord and Sebastian Larsen
