Milan Sestak damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 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.

Market

FK Senica sell their best player to Spartak Myjava

$64.0K is a serious amount of money and it does not play centre-forward. Everybody in the dressing room knows who used to be looked at when it went wrong.

Market

Albert Pekarik 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 FK Senica can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Lukas Kucka, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 8.00

A mark of 8.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $64.0K sale of Karol Strelec

He is going to Spartak Myjava, the club has $64.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Match

Slovan Bratislava take the points off FK Senica

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces

FK Senica supporters have found a favourite in Lukas Kucka

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 18-year-old it feels ownership of. Lukas Kucka has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Adam Hrosovsky

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Words at FK Senica training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kristian Mazuch 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.

In brief
