Squad

A fracture rules Mario Kvesić out for 87 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason NK Celje will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Rudi Požeg Vancaš has one foot out of the door

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

Squad

A falling-out at NK Celje

Leonardo Koutris and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

Home is on Lars Boer's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; NK Celje are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Nejc Penca 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.

The dugout

When it matters, Milot Avdyli 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 Svit Sešlar question follows NK Celje around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Svit Sešlar’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Josip Bartulić knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at NK Celje, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Florjan Jevšenak has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Florjan Jevšenak has written the date down.

The dugout

Stijan Gobec: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” NK Celje have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Milot Avdyli is on his way

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

Boardroom

Andrej Kotnik signs for NK Maribor while still at NK Celje

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Andrej Kotnik has agreed terms with NK Maribor for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Words exchanged at NK Celje

Leonardo Koutris 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.

Squad

Luka Vešner Tičić 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.

Transfer targets

Deadline beats NK Celje to Evan Weir

The clock did what ND Gorica would not, and ended it. Supporters who watched the countdown will spend the next window doing it again.

Loan watch

Tilen Letonja has seen enough of NK Maribor

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at NK Celje, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Market

NK Celje sign Denys Khamko, one for the future

Denys Khamko is 20, and NK Celje 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.

Market

NK Celje sign Damian Westerhof, one for the future

Damian Westerhof is 19, and NK Celje 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.
