61 days out for Andrey Solovey after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Dinamo Minsk will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Market28 Feb 2028
Dmitriy Leontyuk has said yes to Ostrovets
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Dinamo Minsk have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Ural tell Dinamo Minsk: Vladislav Malkevich is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Boardroom28 Feb 2028
Dinamo Minsk close the window on a squad of their own making
1 in and 4 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

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.

Ramiro Luna 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.

Dmitriy Leontyuk 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.

Vladislav Kalinin knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Dinamo Minsk, and both men came out saying it was fine.
Squad28 Feb 2028
Dmitriy Leontyuk has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Dinamo Minsk will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.
