Squad

Denis Simiyu breaks a bone — 126 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 126 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Shoxmalik Komilov

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Mashal

Ammar Al-Ammar 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.

Squad

Words at Mashal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daler Tuxsanov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

A bad afternoon for Mashal against Lokomotiv

0‑1 to Lokomotiv, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

7 new faces, and Mashal are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market

Mashal buy the years ahead of Linas Eliosius

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

Mashal sign Ismail Mabkhout, one for the future

Ismail Mabkhout is 18, and Mashal 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

Mashal bring in an old head

Denis Simiyu is 37 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

In brief

Back issues

The Atlantas Herald

13 Sep 2027
From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

Jerry Orozco damages knee ligaments — 134 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 134 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.

Squad

Ignas Novikovas breaks a bone — 56 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Siauliai 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.

Market

Arnas Lasickas is on his way

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

Squad

Arnas Girdvainis says Atlantas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Words at Atlantas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aidas Kazlauskas is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
