Namig Sheydaev damages knee ligaments — 83 days out

41 days out for Shahriyar Garayev after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Khazar will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Kamran Jafarov runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Door shut on Ángel González
Khazar asked and Libertad said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
In brief
