Squad7 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Eduards Fertovs out for 71 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Spartaks will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market7 Sep 2026

Igors Laizans 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 The request is on a desk at Spartaks, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Spartaks close the window on a squad of their own making

3 in and 9 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Spartaks

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

Door shut on Rokas Lekiatas

Spartaks asked and Kauno Zalgiris said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Spartaks

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alvis Jurkovskis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Pavels Laizans slips down the pecking order

The demotion a club never announces and a dressing room always notices. Pavels Laizans is further from the side than he was, and the reason will not be given until he asks.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

When it matters, Jānis Grīnbergs 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Pavels Laizans 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

Pavels Savalnieks 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 Spartaks can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Aug 2026

Spartaks turn down Ventspils for Arturs Oss

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

Boardroom31 Aug 2026

Spartaks go back to the board over Olegs Laizans

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $3.3K — a club that wants Olegs Laizans enough to be asked twice.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Spartaks

Gatis Stolcers 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 targets31 Aug 2026

Too dear: Spartaks walk away from Olegs Laizans

$3.0K was the most the club would pay and Jelgava were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Skonto tell Spartaks: Vitalijs Fertovs is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

A loan move for Rokas Lekiatas is in the works

Spartaks have made the call to Kauno Zalgiris. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Spartaks try to borrow Martin Lobotka

FK Senica 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.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Kristaps Kamess gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Kristaps Kamess is on it.
