Squad

The knee: Rok Skubic out for 20 days

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

Squad

41 days out for Nejc Lovric after a fracture

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

Squad

Zech Medley signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zech Medley and NK Domzale agree another 4 years.

Squad

Mateo Bjelica 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 NK Domzale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Jakob Novak has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at NK Domzale will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Zan Brekalo gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A move Aleksandar Todorov would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Aleksandar Todorov is living that version at NK Domzale, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Tempers go at NK Domzale

Vid Sikosek 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

NK Domzale count the cost of losing Miha Kurtovic

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

Market

NK Domzale and Aleksandar Todorov are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Looking ahead

Jakob Štrukelj faces his old club

NK Krsko next, and one man in the NK Domzale dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match

NK Domzale have something to play for

Position 4 on 16 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Squad

A season on the outside for Aleksandar Todorov

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at NK Domzale has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market

The Jakob Novak question follows NK Domzale around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Jakob Novak’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

The manager makes Gregor Handanovic a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at NK Domzale. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

In brief
