A fracture rules Yefim Dementyev out for 14 days

The offer from Metallurg for Evgeny Tatarinov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Textilschik may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Andrey Yevdokimov 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.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Roman Yermolin 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.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Artem Ilyin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
