Squad

Alexandr Gutor breaks a bone — 98 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 98 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Emir Ernisov asks to leave Minsk

“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.

Squad

Alexandr Gutor 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 Minsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Real improvement from Ivan Shimakovich at Dinamo Minsk

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ivan Shimakovich is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Karol Mets 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

Tempers go at Dinamo Minsk

Juan Aguilar 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Alexandr Gutor out for 129 days

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

Squad

Alexandr Gutor 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 Minsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Alexandr Naumovich

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

Squad

Denis Kovalevich 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.

Market

Still no ink between Minsk and Alexandr Naumovich

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Minsk, another week without a signature from Alexandr Naumovich.

Market

Minsk sign Daniil Pesnyak, one for the future

Daniil Pesnyak is 19, and Minsk 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.

Player ratings

Vladimir Obukhov, 34, rolls back the years — 7.96

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.96 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market

Slonim come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dinamo Minsk did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Dinamo Minsk to lose Gleb Sereda for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Gleb Sereda has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Minsk

Fawaz Abdullahi 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.

Squad

Karol Mets 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

No hiding place for Evgeniy Malashevich

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

Market

Niva join the queue for Abdoul Aziz Touré

Add another name to the list: Niva have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Abdoul Aziz Touré. The answer from Dinamo Minsk has not changed — yet.

Squad

This league is too small for Karol Mets

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Dinamo Minsk will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ivan Bakhar

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Minsk through in the cup

A 4‑1 win over Ostrovets, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Ilya Bondarenko at 21 — 9.12

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Ilya Bondarenko did not need any: 9.12, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Alexandr Gutor 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 Minsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Arseniy Migdalenok at his very best

Marked 9.20. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Minsk.

Boardroom

Gleb Sereda will join Minsk for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Gleb Sereda has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Minsk have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Match

BATE take the points off Minsk

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

The terraces

Minsk supporters have found a favourite in Arseniy Migdalenok

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Arseniy Migdalenok 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.

Squad

Konstantin Kuchinskiy 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.

Squad

Alexandr Gutor lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.
