Squad

Nosa Iyobosa Edokpolor breaks a bone — 95 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 95 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Linas Simkus

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

Squad

Sebastián Ubilla 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 Kauno Zalgiris this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nosa Iyobosa Edokpolor breaks a bone — 102 days out

Market

Zalgiris come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kauno Zalgiris did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Nosa Iyobosa Edokpolor breaks a bone — 109 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 109 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Linas 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.

Market

Baltika come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Kauno Zalgiris did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Lukas Barauskas 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 The request is on a desk at Siauliai, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Siauliai

Ignas Lasickas 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

Arnas Dapkus 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.
