A fracture rules Nick Viergever out for 133 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Zwolle will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Guus Hateboer
18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zwolle lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Player ratings30 Aug 2027
Both of them Younes Namli's — 8.15
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.15, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings30 Aug 2027
Paul Wanner, 21, steals the show — 8.10
Marked 8.10 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

IFK Norrkoping come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Zwolle did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Words exchanged at Zwolle
Naj Lulić 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 Zwolle training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simon Graves 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.

Zwolle get the job done against De Graafschap
A 3‑1 win over De Graafschap, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
In brief
- Transfer targets Door shut on Godfried Frimpong
- The dugout No hiding place for Dylan Mbayo
- Match Zwolle end the wait against De Graafschap
