Squad

Filip Kovacevic damages knee ligaments — 68 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 68 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.

Match

NK Domzale out of the cup

ND Gorica ended it 2‑3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Words exchanged at NK Domzale

Stipe Erceg 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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Jan Verbic

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The dugout

No hiding place for Zan Sesko

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Zan Sesko, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

One of those days for Jan Verbic

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.33, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

A row about effort at NK Domzale

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

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Matic Bijol left the room before anybody could ask which.

Squad

Robert Knezevic signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Robert Knezevic commits to NK Domzale for another 3 years.

Squad

The knee: Filip Kovacevic out for 105 days

105 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. NK Domzale lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Ante Kramaric 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 The request is on a desk at NK Domzale, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Stipe Erceg 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.

Match

NK Domzale come up short against Rudar Velenje

Rudar Velenje left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Zan Sesko

“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.

Squad

A row about effort at NK Domzale

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

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Matic Bijol to a room that had heard them before.

Squad

Benjamin Janza finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. NK Domzale have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Market

The Stipe Erceg talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. NK Domzale know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

In brief
