Squad

A quiet fortnight at Sliema Wanderers

With 6 players away on international duty the sessions are small and the manager can actually hear himself. It is the one break in the season, and it never quite feels like one.

Squad

Sliema Wanderers count the cost of losing James Vella

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

Squad

Sliema Wanderers lose Luke Mifsud

19 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Christian Gaander is in the works

Sliema Wanderers have made the call to Aris Thessaloniki. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout

Nikos Karelis has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sliema Wanderers 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.

Squad

Henry Bonello goes off with his country

Squad

Henry Bonello pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Squad

Sliema Wanderers lose Luke Mifsud

48 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout

Nikos Karelis has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sliema Wanderers 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.

The dugout

Adam Magri Overend asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

Fernandinho linked with a move away

The name of Fernandinho keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Sliema Wanderers say nothing, which says plenty.
