Mateo Tomić damages knee ligaments — 23 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 23 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.

The wait goes on for Hrvatski Dragovoljac
6 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.

Tempers go at Hrvatski Dragovoljac

Lucko take the points off Hrvatski Dragovoljac
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

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

Too much change too quickly at Hrvatski Dragovoljac
8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Nobody could get near Maximiliano Acosta
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A day to forget for Lucas Ozimec
Marked 5.64, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

A day to forget for Marko Batur
Marked 5.68, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
