Squad

Edgar Benítez breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A row about effort at Wil

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Wil

Tim Staubli 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.

The dugout

Marwane Hajij 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.

Boardroom

Wages swallow 110% of the Wil income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Squad

8 new faces, and Wil are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

Edgar Benítez breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout

Alex Amadio says Wil 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

Cosimo Fiorini is a medical away from Wil

The deal with Zurich is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Nour Boulkous 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. Nour Boulkous has, at Wil, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad

A row about effort at Wil

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

Transfer targets

Wil rebuffed over Elias Filet

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Aarau have kept their man, and Wil go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

A falling-out at Wil

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

The dugout

When it matters, Orges Bunjaku 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.

The dugout

Marwane Hajij knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Marwane Hajij trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

In brief

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Wil are in real trouble now

Position 10, 11 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

124 days out for Rodrigo Alvarenga after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Wil will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Giacomo Volpe

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match

7 matches without a win for Wil

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Wil are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Wil

Stijn Keller 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.

Squad

Kastrijot Ndau stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kastrijot Ndau and Wil agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

No hiding place for Nils de Mol

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

Market

Wil buy the years ahead of Alex Amadio

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

A long bet from Wil on Kelvin Dongopandji

He is 19, and nobody at Wil signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
