Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Nicolas Höfler

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

Market

Matheus Alves hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what CSKA Moscow can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Moisés 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 CSKA Moscow this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Alexey Miranchuk 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.

Loan watch

Danila Kozlov counts the days

“I watch every CSKA Moscow game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Dinamo Bucharest runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

The dugout

When it matters, Sergej Milinković-Savić 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Ilja Agapov

“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.

Market

The Matvey Kislyak story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Matvey Kislyak signs something — a contract at CSKA Moscow or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

Still no ink between CSKA Moscow and Matvey Lukin

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

Match

CSKA Moscow through in the cup

A 3‑1 win over Irtysh, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market

Matheus Alves puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at CSKA Moscow, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rifat Zhemaletdinov

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Tamerlan Musaev wins it after the whistle should have gone

107 minutes played. Tamerlan Musaev found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Irtysh went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market

CSKA Moscow say no — this time

The offer from Dinamo Zagreb for Matheus Alves was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

A day Tamerlan Musaev will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Market

Matvey Lukin turns MFK Michalovce down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Squad

Defences have started doubling up on Luciano Gondou

18 goals and a season average of 7.37 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

The dugout

Dmitri Kalinovsky: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” CSKA Moscow have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

In brief
