The knee: Roberts Gabovs out for 37 days

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

Match31 Jul 2028

Jelgava are in real trouble now

Position 6, 10 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad31 Jul 2028

74 days out for Gatis Fertovs after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Jelgava will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market31 Jul 2028

Olegs Oss has said yes to Metta/LU

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Jelgava have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market31 Jul 2028

João Costa 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 The request is on a desk at Jelgava, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tempers go at Jelgava

Roberts Zjuzins 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.

Liepaja tell Jelgava: Moustapha Diaw is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad31 Jul 2028

Jelgava count the cost of losing Raivis Gabovs

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market31 Jul 2028

Janis Ciganovs is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Jelgava has been clear about where Janis Ciganovs stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Raivis Gabovs damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 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.

Match22 Nov 2027

Jelgava are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 16 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market22 Nov 2027

Nikita Bulvitis has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Jelgava they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad22 Nov 2027

A falling-out at Jelgava

Kalu Nweke and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Amadou Traoré 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.

The dugout22 Nov 2027

Davis Vanins 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 Jelgava, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Gatis Fertovs is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Jelgava will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.
