Squad11 Jan 2027

Vildan Yermilov breaks a bone — 66 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 66 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Aslan Aushev keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Metallurg may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Metallurg

Alexandr Kobzev 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.

Vildan Yermilov breaks a bone — 73 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 73 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Nikita Yavorskiy: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Metallurg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings4 Jan 2027

Age has not caught Alexey Skvortsov yet — 7.87

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.87 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Alexandr Kobzev 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 Metallurg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Aslan Aushev signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Aslan Aushev and Metallurg agree another 3 years.

Match2 Jan 2027

Metallurg share the spoils with Znamya Truda

A 1‑1 draw with Znamya Truda leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Vildan Yermilov breaks a bone — 87 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 87 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match21 Dec 2026

Metallurg are in real trouble now

Position 13, 20 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.

Match19 Dec 2026

The wait goes on for Metallurg

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market21 Dec 2026

Nikita Panov 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 Metallurg can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Maxim Vedeneev 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.

Match19 Dec 2026

A bad afternoon for Metallurg against Rodina M

1‑2 to Rodina M, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Metallurg

Ilnur Badrtdinov 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.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Kirill Dontsov

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 18 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Aslan Aushev

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

Home is on Vinicius Nunes's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Metallurg are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Maxim Vedeneev has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Metallurg will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Maxim Vedeneev was immovable

13 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Alexey Skvortsov

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match10 Oct 2026

Metallurg draw a blank against Orel

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Orel defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nothing got past Nikita Kononenko

12 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Artem Ntumba attracts admirers

The name of Artem Ntumba has come up in conversations Metallurg were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Alexandr Kobzev 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 Metallurg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Maxim Vedeneev

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Artem Ntumba

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

Nothing got past Kirill Dontsov

17 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Daniil Grigorjev's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Maxim Vedeneev takes the honours

Marked 7.63 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Metallurg had the best player on the pitch.

Market10 Aug 2026

Metallurg buy the years ahead of Aslan Aushev

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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Aslan Aushev signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Aslan Aushev commits to Metallurg for another 3 years.
