A fracture rules Luka Drobnjak out for 63 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Napredak will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Napredak sink to position 16
15 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

No end in sight to Napredak's wait for a win
9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Napredak has to find a result from somewhere.

Uroš Ignjatović 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 The request is on a desk at Napredak, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Napredak

Vojvodina watching Filip Krstić
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Napredak have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

A long bet from Napredak on Dinis Lopes
He is 20, and nobody at Napredak signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
