Rubin Colwill breaks a bone — 91 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 91 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Cardiff City sink to position 23
37 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Rodrigo Bentancur in a row with a teammate

Micah Mbick keeps scoring at FC Argeș
21 appearances away from home and 10 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Gabriel Osho dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
