A knee injury of the worst kind for Edgaras Slavickas

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

Edgaras Slavickas 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 The request is on a desk at Utenis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Utenis

Jerry Orozco 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.

Donatas Dubickas 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.

Words at Utenis training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lukas Valskis 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.

Donatas Dubickas placed on the list

Utenis have made Donatas Dubickas available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Tadas Vaitkunas 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.

Tempers go at Utenis

Edgaras Novikovas 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.

Eyes on Darius Lasickas again

The phone has started ringing about Darius Lasickas again, and this time the name on the line is Zalgiris. Utenis are listening politely and promising nothing.

Lukas 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Ignas Simkus 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 Ignas Simkus stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Aleksey Anokhin knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Utenis, and both men came out saying it was fine.
