Squad

A fracture rules Arturs Tarasovs out for 78 days

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

Squad

Bendrix Parra 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 Jelgava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Home is on Esteban Luco's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Jelgava are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Loan watch

Raivis Oss has seen enough of Daugavpils

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Jelgava, and 0 appearances in 34 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Eduards Vanins asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

The clock runs on Khalid Ismail's contract

12 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad

A fracture rules Arturs Tarasovs out for 136 days

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

Squad

Eduards Vanins keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Jelgava may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Olegs Gabovs 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 Jelgava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Olegs Gabovs runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Davis Vanins breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Every point is an argument now for Jelgava

Position 5 and 8 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Igors Jagodinskis asks to leave Jelgava

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Jelgava

Olegs Gabovs 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.

Squad

Arturs Jurkovskis out for 42 days

The medical room confirms 42 days on the sidelines for Arturs Jurkovskis, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
