Thabiso Msele damages knee ligaments — 63 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 63 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.

Carlos Chabá breaks a bone — 111 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 111 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Thabiso Msele 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 Sirens this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Home is on Thiago Nonato'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; Sirens are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Sirens rebuffed over Tholithemba Nyawose

The manager makes an example of Mathías Pedrozo
“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.

Sirens share the spoils with Birzebbuga St. Peter's
A 1‑1 draw with Birzebbuga St. Peter's leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The numbers do not look good at Sirens
Wages have outrun income and the accountants have started attending meetings they used to send apologies to. Ambition comes second in a season like this.

Timothy Gauci on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Timothy Gauci after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
In brief
- Market Still no ink between Sirens and Rowen Muscat
- The dugout Sirens pick somebody else ahead of Kane Paul Farrugia
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Klevi Qefalija
