The words a physio says slowly. 40 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Nomme Kalju, and it is not being withdrawn.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nomme Kalju this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
