From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Denys Yarovyi out for 44 days

44 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Vorskla lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

The small margins put Vorskla out

Out, 2‑2 to Prykarpattia, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Yehor Butenko at 18 — 7.78

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Yehor Butenko did not need any: 7.78, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Yuriy Dudnyk gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Yuriy Dudnyk has just signed for Vorskla, and for once the answer mattered.

Market

Vorskla turn down Prykarpattia for Vladyslav Voitsekhovskyi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Ionuţ Ailenei will not be coming to Vorskla

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Botosani is saying, and nobody at Vorskla is enjoying the guessing.

Squad

A falling-out at Vorskla

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

Squad

Dmytro Shcherbak 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.

Transfer targets

Jablonec tell Vorskla: Tomáš Schánělec 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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Transfer targets

Vorskla rebuffed over Johannes Hummelvoll-Nuñez

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

Player ratings

Yehor Butenko, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.69

A mark of 7.69 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Vitalii Koltsov arrives at Vorskla in a $280.0K statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Vorskla have paid $280.0K for Vitalii Koltsov, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Squad

Cipriano Sampaio stays put

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

Squad

A falling-out at Vorskla

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

Match

Vorskla come up short against Ahrobiznes

Ahrobiznes left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A row about effort at Vorskla

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

Market

One of our own: Taras Buialskyi joins the Vorskla first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Taras Buialskyi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Oleksandr Marlos joins the Vorskla first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Oleksandr Marlos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
