Squad

The knee: Fernando Medeiros out for 32 days

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

Market

Eljon Sota agrees terms with Burreli

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Egnatia Rrogozhinë people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad

Kastriot Selmani breaks a bone — 16 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 16 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Alessandro Albanese puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Egnatia Rrogozhinë, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Daniel Afful says Egnatia Rrogozhinë 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.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Egnatia Rrogozhinë

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Boardroom

Rinaldo Shkira signs on for the long haul

Egnatia Rrogozhinë moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Rinaldo Shkira, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad

Tempers go at Egnatia Rrogozhinë

Guillem Jaime 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.

Match

Afonso Rodrigues sends Egnatia Rrogozhinë past Teuta Durrës

It finished 2‑0, and it was Afonso Rodrigues’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Egnatia Rrogozhinë.

Market

Anio Poçi has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Egnatia Rrogozhinë they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Words at Egnatia Rrogozhinë training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Albano Aleksi 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.

The dugout

Afonso Rodrigues gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Words exchanged at Egnatia Rrogozhinë

Zamiq Əliyev 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Kastriot Selmani plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The Guillem Jaime talk will not go away

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

In brief

Match

Cup progress for Egnatia Rrogozhinë

A 2‑1 win over Besa Kavajë, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Iberia 1999 come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Egnatia Rrogozhinë did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Eljon Sota asks to leave Egnatia Rrogozhinë

“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.

Match

Nobody wants to play Egnatia Rrogozhinë right now

5 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings

Aldo Dini, 20, steals the show — 7.67

Marked 7.67 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market

Daniel Afful is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Egnatia Rrogozhinë is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Fernando Medeiros in a row with a teammate

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

Squad

Ejike Uzoechi gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Ejike Uzoechi has just signed for Egnatia Rrogozhinë, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Albano Aleksi 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.
