Loan watch

Victor Okishor keeps scoring at Sevastopol

22 appearances away from home and 17 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

Tempers go at Dinamo Moscow

Maxim Osipenko 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.

Dinamo Moscow promote Valery Dorokhov from within

Squad

Alexandr Kutitskiy is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Alexandr Kutitskiy has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

The dugout

Konstantin Tyukavin gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Konstantin Tyukavin is on it.

In brief
