From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Elías Pérez

142 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Probiy lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

No end in sight to Probiy's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Probiy has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Andrii Liashenko asks to leave Probiy

“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.

Player ratings

Marko Podoliak runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Esteban Pourcher 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Probiy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bohdan Orynchak 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.

In brief

  • Squad 8 new faces, and Probiy are still learning each other
  • Match Point won or two lost for Probiy?
  • Market The window shut and Ramazan Ibragimov is still in the building

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Elías Pérez

149 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Probiy lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

8 matches without a win for Probiy

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Probiy are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Marko Podoliak runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Elías Pérez 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Bohdan Orynchak 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.

Match

Probiy come up short against Livyi Bereh

Livyi Bereh left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Maksym Hirnyi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 34. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

The small margins put Probiy out

Out, 0‑1 to Dynamo Kyiv, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match

The wait goes on for Probiy

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Ramazan Ibragimov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Probiy can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Gonzalo Saavedra signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gonzalo Saavedra commits to Probiy for another 3 years.

Squad

Elías Pérez 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

3 matches without a goal for Probiy

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Bohdan Orynchak 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Mykola Sikach

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

Squad

Roman Bilyi 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Maksym Hirnyi

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Probiy come up short against Podillia

Podillia left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Roman Bilyi

“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.

Squad

Volodymyr Ivanychuk 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.

Market

Experience through the door at Probiy

Elías Pérez arrives at 36 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

Probiy throw away a 3-goal lead

3 in front and in complete control, and it finished with Inhulets the happier side. There is no version of this afternoon that Probiy will enjoy reviewing.

Player ratings

Both of them Maksym Hirnyi's — 8.12

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.12, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Andrey Khodanovich stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Andrey Khodanovich and Probiy agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Andrii Liashenko — 7.87

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.87 beside his name.

Squad

Pele van Anholt 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Andrii Bliznichenko

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ramazan Ibragimov gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad

Pele van Anholt 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.

Match

Probiy share the spoils with Inhulets

A 3‑3 draw with Inhulets leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
