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

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 53 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Words at Siauliai training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Justas Lasickas 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.

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Siauliai are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

“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.

“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 Siauliai know it.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Siauliai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A muscle injury sidelines Mantas Sernas for 14 days
Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Siauliai will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Edvinas Barauskas 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.

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Siauliai has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.
