The Atlantas Herald

A fracture rules Deividas Slavickas out for 125 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Atlantas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Market14 Aug 2028
Trakai come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Atlantas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Transfer targets14 Aug 2028
Atlantas agree $360.0K for Yukiyoshi Karashima
The clubs have shaken hands with Kauno Zalgiris; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Nemanja Mihajlović 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 Atlantas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Paulius Lasickas 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.

Donatas Kuklys stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Donatas Kuklys and Atlantas agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
The dugout14 Aug 2028
Donatas Klimavicius has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Atlantas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
The dugout14 Aug 2028
No hiding place for Tadas Dapkus
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tadas Dapkus, and the manager let it.
Match14 Aug 2028
Continental football is in reach for Atlantas
17 points from position 4. The title is somebody else’s business and the drop is somebody else’s problem; what is left is the argument about passports.
In brief
- Market Atlantas and Mantas Eliosius are talking past each other
- Market The shop window has Ignas Girdvainis in it
