Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Gonzalo Rivas

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Levadia lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Tempers go at Levadia

Rauno Ainsalu 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.

Loan watch

Rauno Baranov has seen enough of Tammeka

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Levadia, and 0 appearances in 15 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

A fracture rules Kevin Anderson out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Tammeka will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at Tammeka

Jannik Pohl Holmsgaard 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

Words at Tammeka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rauno Baranov 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.

Squad

Liliu Zenjov damages knee ligaments — 86 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 86 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

Liliu Hein falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

A fracture rules Kevin Anderson out for 116 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Tammeka will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Daniil Prokopchuk 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 Tammeka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Daniil Prokopchuk

“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

A fracture rules Kevin Anderson out for 144 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Tammeka will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Tammeka out of the cup

Parnu ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Daniil Prokopchuk gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Daniil Prokopchuk has just signed for Tammeka, and for once the answer mattered.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 8 of the 29 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Player ratings

A chastening introduction for Rauno Baranov — 4.90

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 4.90 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad

Jannik Pohl Holmsgaard 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 Tammeka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Samuel Giménez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Still no ink between Tammeka and Daniil Prokopchuk

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Tammeka, another week without a signature from Daniil Prokopchuk.

Player ratings

Jannik Pohl Holmsgaard runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Rauno Ainsalu signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rauno Ainsalu and Levadia agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Levadia

Rauno Ainsalu 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

Levadia count the cost of losing Frank Sappinen

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

Squad

Sergei Antonov falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market

Nomme Kalju expected to open talks for Taijo Liivak

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Levadia will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Mihkel Hein told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Mihkel Hein has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Levadia.
