Frank Puri damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Sander Ainsalu asks to leave Sillamae Kalev

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev make their move for Denis Poliakov

$11.0K on the table at Narva Trans. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Sillamae Kalev

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

Market31 Aug 2026

The Levadia deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Brent Puri reports back to Sillamae Kalev with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Enrique Esono

Sillamae Kalev asked and Nomme Kalju said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Erik Klavan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Erik Klavan and Sillamae Kalev agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market31 Aug 2026

The Mihkel Vassiljev talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Sillamae Kalev know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Erik Klavan 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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Frank Kallaste sold, and an era ends

$290.0K from Nomme Kalju for Frank Kallaste. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Frank Puri damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 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.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev sell a favourite for $290.0K

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Frank Kallaste was one of the reasons people came, and $290.0K does not replace that by itself.

Market24 Aug 2026

Silver Antonov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sillamae Kalev, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Aug 2026

Eyes on Ken Kallaste again

The phone has started ringing about Ken Kallaste again, and this time the name on the line is Jelgava. Sillamae Kalev are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Sillamae Kalev

Mihkel Vassiljev 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev rebuffed over Fjodor Jekimov

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Flora have kept their man, and Sillamae Kalev go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Mihkel Vassiljev

“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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev try to borrow Idalécio Dias

Nomme Kalju have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The knee: Frank Puri out for 31 days

31 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Sillamae Kalev lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match12 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev out of the cup

Tulevik ended it 1‑4. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market17 Aug 2026

Sillamae Kalev turn down Nomme Kalju for Ken Kallaste

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

A cup embarrassment at Tulevik follows Sillamae Kalev home

1-4. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Sillamae Kalev

Leo Lod 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Eyes on Frank Kallaste again

The phone has started ringing about Frank Kallaste again, and this time the name on the line is Tammeka. Sillamae Kalev are listening politely and promising nothing.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Frank Klavan

“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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Frank Sorga

Marked 8.12 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Sillamae Kalev dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.
