The knee: Vladislav Rudenko out for 21 days
21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. CSM Reșița lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

15 days out for Ciprian Mitrita after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. CSM Reșița will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Robert Burlacu returns a better player
29 games and 0 goals away from here, and a man the manager did not have last summer. The loan did what loans are supposed to do and almost never do.

When it matters, Andrei Burlacu plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.
