Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Stefan Palsson

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

Squad

A falling-out at KR

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

Squad

Words at KR training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arnór Ingvi Traustason 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 dugout

The manager makes an example of Ástbjörn Þórðarson

“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

When it matters, Jakob Gunnar Sigurðsson 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.

Squad

No place for Marko Kiš in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation KR are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad

Stefan Palsson damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The dugout

Hrafn Tómasson says KR 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.

Transfer targets

Medical ends the Romeo Ljunggren deal

Everything was agreed with another club and then the doctor spoke. KR have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Squad

Marko Kiš arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Marko Kiš has, at KR, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

Words at KR training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Arnór Ingvi Traustason 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at KR

Alexander Helgi Sigurðarson 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.

Market

KR buy the years ahead of Marko Kiš

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

KR sign Dejan Forsberg, one for the future

Dejan Forsberg is 17, and KR have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

The dugout

Aron Sigurðarson 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 Aron Sigurðarson is on it.
