A fracture rules Eduard Vasile out for 29 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Concordia Chiajna will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Nicolae Carnat 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 Concordia Chiajna this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A row about effort at Concordia Chiajna
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Darius Grigore was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Match29 Jan 2028
Concordia Chiajna come up short against CSM Reșița
CSM Reșița left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Squad31 Jan 2028
Florin Maxim stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Florin Maxim and Concordia Chiajna agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
The dugout31 Jan 2028
The manager makes an example of Cătălin Carp
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Loan watch31 Jan 2028
Alexandru Burcea has seen enough of Unirea Slobozia
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Concordia Chiajna, and 5 appearances in 27 say he has earned the hearing.
The dugout31 Jan 2028
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 Cristian Balasa left the room before anybody could ask which.
The dugout31 Jan 2028
Nicolae Carnat left out for tactical reasons at Concordia Chiajna
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
