A knee injury of the worst kind for Fiodor Simkus

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

Tempers go at Stumbras

Saulius Eliosius was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Loan watch20 Sep 2027

Rokas Lasickas counts the days

“I watch every Stumbras game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Kauno Zalgiris runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Fiodor Simkus damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 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.

Market13 Sep 2027

Dylan Sandoval 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 Stumbras can pretend not to have heard.

Saulius Eliosius 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 Stumbras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom13 Sep 2027

Stumbras agree a free transfer for Vikintas Mikoliunas

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Loan watch13 Sep 2027

Fiodor Dubickas wants to come home

“I did not go to Zalgiris to sit and watch. I want to come back to Stumbras and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

“I want to play”: Marius Mikoliunas speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Fiodor Simkus damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 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.

Arseny Kerzhakov gets the move he always wanted

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

Squad6 Sep 2027

Marius Mikoliunas 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.

The market said no: Mantas Slavickas stays put

Stumbras opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Mantas Slavickas stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.

Market6 Sep 2027

Stumbras pick up Arseny Kerzhakov for nothing

The best deals are the ones the accountants never notice. Arseny Kerzhakov arrives at Stumbras with his wages the only cost and something to prove the only clause.
