A knee injury of the worst kind for Aleksandrs Vanins
118 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Spartaks lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Spartaks turn down Metta/LU for Arturs Zjuzins
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

In brief
- Squad A falling-out at Spartaks

- Market The window shut and Igors Cauna is still in the building
