Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ruben Yttergård Jenssen

57 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Tromso lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

7 saves: Jakob Haugaard was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The dugout

Abderrahmane Sarr keeps the receipts

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

Transfer targets

Nickolay Årsbog turns down Tromso

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Ruben Yttergård Jenssen 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 Tromso this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Tromso

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match

A bad afternoon for Tromso against Lillestrom

1‑3 to Lillestrom, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Transfer targets

Tromso rebuffed over Jacob Ambæk

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Midtjylland have kept their man, and Tromso go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout

No hiding place for Jakob Haugaard

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jakob Haugaard, and the manager let it.

In brief
