A knee injury of the worst kind for Eddy Jafarov
26 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Inter lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Afran Sheydaev 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 Inter can pretend not to have heard.

Omar Fayed 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 Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

AZAL watching Orkhan Dadashov
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Inter have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Francisco Uviedo 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.

Agil Abdullayev in the eights
A performance of 8.04 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Eddy Jafarov was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

This league is too small for Omar Fayed
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Inter will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Agil Abdullayev rescues a point for Inter
It needed Agil Abdullayev to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Zira, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
In brief
- Player ratings Bahlul Amirguliyev runs at them all day
- Market Window shut, Qara Garayev still here
- Market Inter pick up Francisco Uviedo for nothing
