Squad

Artur Pikk damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 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 dugout

Andero Kaares says Levadia went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Tempers go at Levadia

Danil Kuraksin 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.

Squad

Dedé is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Taijo Teniste is slowing down

At 39, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

The dugout

Artem Makavchik is still paying for one afternoon at Levadia

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief

  • The dugout No hiding place for Samuel Fuleki
  • Looking ahead Levadia take on the side everybody is chasing
  • The dugout Madou Camara asks for a word with the manager

Squad

The knee: Artur Pikk out for 83 days

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

Squad

Words exchanged at Levadia

Mihkel Ainsalu and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Iliyan Tanev gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad

Mikhail Sivakov 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

Flora tell Levadia: Andrey Pisarev 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.

Market

Levadia promote Artur Hein from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Artur Hein has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

In brief
