From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A fracture rules Adrian Burca out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Viitorul 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 Viitorul

Lukáš Zima 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 Viitorul training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bogdan Hagi 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

Adrian Burca breaks a bone — 54 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 54 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Facundo Coelli asks to leave Viitorul

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Bogdan Hagi 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 Viitorul this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Cosmin Mihaila 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

Sesvete watching Arthur Souza

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Viitorul have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

No hiding place for Ahmed Azaouagh

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ahmed Azaouagh, and the manager let it.

Squad

Tempers go at Viitorul

Stefan Chiriches 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

Viitorul come up short against Dinamo Bucharest

Dinamo Bucharest left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Arthur Souza signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Arthur Souza commits to Viitorul for another 5 years.

Squad

Bogdan Hagi has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Viitorul 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.

Player ratings

Vlad Burca runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
