A fracture rules Stefan Bukorac out for 55 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sigma Olomouc will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Dominik Janošek runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Stéphane Noumbissie, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.70
A mark of 7.70 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

John Dembe stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” John Dembe and Sigma Olomouc agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Péter Baráth 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 Sigma Olomouc this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Abdoulaye Sylla has improved at 28, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Graduation day at Sigma Olomouc
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Sigma Olomouc supporters have found a favourite in Stéphane Noumbissie
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Stéphane Noumbissie has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Sigma Olomouc get the job done against Jihlava
A 2‑0 win over Jihlava, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
