Vikintas Lasickas breaks a bone — 59 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 59 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Saulius Mikoliunas 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 Utenis can pretend not to have heard.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Tempers go at Utenis

Marius Slavickas 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.

Words at Utenis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Valdas Paulauskas 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.

Leonardo Ponte wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Utenis know it.

Aidas Klimavicius wants to come home

“I did not go to Kauno Zalgiris to sit and watch. I want to come back to Utenis and fight for my place.” 2 appearances in 35 matches say the rest.

Match12 Aug 2026

The small margins put Utenis out

Out, 0‑1 to Zalgiris, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 13 of the 33 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A first appearance Vikintas Mikoliunas will want to forget — 5.31

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.31, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Tempers go at Utenis

Vladyslav Hevlych 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Saulius Mikoliunas 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Karolis Novikovas

“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

Nobody could get near Valdas Paulauskas

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

When it matters, Darius Kuklys plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Donatas Barauskas is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Utenis has been clear about where Donatas Barauskas stands, which is more than many ever get.
