16 days out for Jakub Holes after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Chrudim will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Market18 Jan 2027
Chrudim get their man
The chase for Jacques Fokam Sandeu ended with $170.0K changing hands and Dukla Prague out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

David Pavelka 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 Chrudim this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ermin Mahmić 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.
The dugout18 Jan 2027
No hiding place for Jiří Kateřiňák
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jiří Kateřiňák, and the manager let it.
Match16 Jan 2027
Chrudim come up short against Pribram
Pribram left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Match16 Jan 2027
After 5 games, Chrudim finally taste it again
The first defeat in 5 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Pribram; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Appearance number 200 for Patrik Brandner
200 games in this shirt, through managers and relegations and everything else. Service like it is disappearing from the game and the crowd knows what it is watching.
Loan watch18 Jan 2027
12 goals on loan for Kryštof Judas
18 appearances at Trnje and the goals keep coming. Chrudim are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.
In brief
- The dugout Jakub Schick: “No excuses”
- Transfer targets Chrudim try to borrow Astemir Khashkulov
- Player ratings Patrik Brandner runs at them all day
