Squad

Andrei Rios damages knee ligaments — 73 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 73 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Mikalai Arlouski puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Molodechno, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Molodechno

Artem Miroevskiy 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

Wages eat 92% of everything Molodechno earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

When it matters, Artem Miroevskiy plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Hleb Savitski told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Hleb Savitski has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Molodechno.

Squad

Dzmitry Arlouski damages knee ligaments — 36 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 36 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom

The scrutiny sharpens at Molodechno

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Molodechno is running low.

Boardroom

Molodechno put Ihar Kendysh on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market

Hleb Yablonski asks to leave Molodechno

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Hleb Signevich signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hleb Signevich and Molodechno agree another 3 years.

Squad

Maxim Yablonskiy 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 Molodechno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

No end in sight to Molodechno's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Molodechno has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

Molodechno cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Dmitriy P. Denisenko

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Molodechno

Maxim Yablonskiy 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.

Squad

Alexandr Mischenko 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.

Match

Molodechno come up short against Bumprom Gomel

Bumprom Gomel left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Nikita Chaykov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nikita Chaykov, and the manager let it.

Squad

Artem Miroevskiy has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Molodechno 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.

Market

Artur Sagitov linked with a move away

The name of Artur Sagitov keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Molodechno say nothing, which says plenty.

Market

Francesco Spreafico is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Molodechno is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Artem Miroevskiy 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 Molodechno this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
