Renato Assis 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.

Dauren Kuat keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Akzhaiyk may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.
Market4 Sep 2028
Okzhetpes come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Akzhaiyk did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Andrey Solodukhin signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andrey Solodukhin and Akzhaiyk agree another 4 years.

Yeldos Tymoshchuk 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 Akzhaiyk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Akzhaiyk rebuffed over Ismail Bekbolat
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Astana have kept their man, and Akzhaiyk go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Words at Akzhaiyk training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Severjanov 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.

The Akzhaiyk board find $540.6K for the manager
Money, not words, and it is the only answer a manager ever wants. Spending $540.6K well is entirely his problem now.

Temirlan Erlanov is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.
In brief
- The dugout Kairat Orazov gets it from the manager
- Market Talks stall between Akzhaiyk and Alexandr Seraskhov
- The dugout Aibol Kuat asks for a word with the manager
