Squad

94 days out for Yanis Barka after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Dijon will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Dijon

Julio Tavares was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Dijon

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

Olympique Lyonnais tell Dijon: Mohamed Ouédraogo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Edvinas Gertmonas has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Dijon know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

In brief
