Squad

Kaspars Cauna damages knee ligaments — 69 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 69 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.

Squad

Eduards Oss breaks a bone — 28 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 28 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Jelgava turn down Spartaks for Janis Ciganovs

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Vitalijs Fertovs 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 Jelgava this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Alvis Zjuzins attracts admirers

The name of Alvis Zjuzins has come up in conversations Jelgava were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

This league is too small for Maximiliano Galván

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Jelgava will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Squad

Kaspars Cauna damages knee ligaments — 76 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 76 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.

Squad

Eduards Oss breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Jelgava

Vitalijs Fertovs 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.

Match

Jelgava through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Spartaks, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

Gatis Jagodinskis breaks a bone — 37 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Arturs Kamess keeps Jelgava in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

Tempers go at Jelgava

Vitalijs Fertovs 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

Janis Laizans out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Janis Laizans, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

The game went through Eduards Oss — 7.15

Marked 7.15 on 13 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Eduards Oss

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Janis Laizans was the difference for Jelgava

Marked 7.92. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Aleksandrs Jurkovskis

10 defensive actions and a clean sheet at the end of them. A defender's afternoon can only be told by what did not happen, which is why nobody makes a highlights package out of one and every manager in the division would take it.
