30 days out for Demir Xhemalija after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Luzern will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Tyron Owusu scores twice — 8.27
Two goals and a mark of 8.27 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Match14 Sep 2026
Luzern refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 13 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Market14 Sep 2026
Luzern turn down Port Vale for Simon Simoni
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Metinho wants European nights
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Words exchanged at Luzern
Metinho and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Words at Luzern training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matteo di Giusto is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The crowd has taken to Tyron Owusu
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Luzern find a way past Thun
Thun made Luzern work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
In brief
- Market One of our own: Edimilson Rodriguez joins the Luzern first team
- Market One of our own: Ricardo Seferovic joins the Luzern first team
- Squad 9 new faces, and Luzern are still learning each other
