Jayce Fitzgerald breaks a bone — 45 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 45 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match10 Dec 2036
Bari out of the cup
Cittadella ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Match13 Dec 2036
No end in sight to Bari's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Bari has to find a result from somewhere.

Mehdi Dorval 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 Bari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Bari training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matthias Verreth 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.
Match13 Dec 2036
Juve Stabia take the points off Bari
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad15 Dec 2036
The manager makes an example of Michele Cerofolini
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Match13 Dec 2036
No clean sheets in sight for Bari
4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

A masterclass from Daouda Traoré
Marked 8.98 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
