Ernir Bjarnason damages knee ligaments — 72 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 72 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.

A fracture rules Halid Alghoul out for 47 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Keflavik will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

FH come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Keflavik did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

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

Keflavik sign Vincent Arnström, one for the future
Vincent Arnström is 17, and Keflavik have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Sindri Kristinn Ólafsson 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 Sindri Kristinn Ólafsson is on it.
