Squad

Jānis Beks breaks a bone — 44 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Ziad Ouled-Haj-M'hand 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 Daugavpils this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Daniel Kivinda 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 Daniel Kivinda is on it.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Bruno Melnis rejects the move

Daugavpils had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Liepaja, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets

An offer of $190.0K for Vitalijs Jagodinskis

Daugavpils have gone to Jelgava with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Zac Hadi

Daugavpils asked and Bradford City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Shuaibu Garba 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.

Market

Roberts Dubra steps up from the Daugavpils academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Roberts Dubra has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Daugavpils promote Olegs Jagodinskis from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Olegs Jagodinskis has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Raivis Savalnieks steps up from the Daugavpils academy

One of our own: Aleksandrs Savalnieks joins the Daugavpils first team

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