Slavko Damjanović damages knee ligaments — 142 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 142 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.

Slavko Damjanović 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 Bhayangkara Presisi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Bhayangkara Presisi sign Aseol Adjm, one for the future
Aseol Adjm is 19, and Bhayangkara Presisi have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

No goals between Bhayangkara Presisi and Persis
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Persis will be the happier side with the point.
