Squad

The knee: Pavle Brnadić out for 18 days

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

Squad

81 days out for Jack Armer after a fracture

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

The dugout

Ivan Cvijanović: 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.” HNK Gorica have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Kane Miardjo asks to leave HNK Gorica

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Jurica Pršir 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.

Squad

Tempers go at HNK Gorica

Matías Contrera 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Benjamin Budimir is in the works

HNK Gorica have made the call to Sesvete. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Aleks Stojaković is in the works

HNK Gorica have made the call to Dinamo Zagreb. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Luka Vrzić gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Luka Vrzić is on it.

Squad

Pavle Brnadić damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Jack Armer out for 89 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason HNK Gorica will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The dugout

Jakov Filipović keeps the receipts

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

Squad

Words at HNK Gorica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jurica Pršir is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Tempers go at HNK Gorica

Ivan Cvijanović 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.

The dugout

Luka Vrzić asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

Bartol Kardum gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Bartol Kardum is on it.

Market

The Tom Lacoux talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. HNK Gorica know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch

Medin Gashi keeps scoring at Gornik Leczna

13 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.
