66 days out for Kirill Yushko after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Druzhba will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout26 Nov 2029

Vladislav Obukhov says Druzhba went back on their word

“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.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Tempers go at Druzhba

Eddi Tsanava 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.

Boardroom26 Nov 2029

No signings allowed at Druzhba

The manager may talk to whoever he likes and may pay nobody. A squad survives a window like this by borrowing, by promoting, and by hoping the injuries land somewhere else.

The dugout26 Nov 2029

The manager makes an example of Soslan Cherdzhiev

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Timofey Leskov out for 22 days

The medical room confirms 22 days on the sidelines for Timofey Leskov, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market26 Nov 2029

Nikolay Tyulenev told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nikolay Tyulenev has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Druzhba.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Max Wilson: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Druzhba will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Looking ahead26 Nov 2029

A reunion for Vladyslav Hevlych

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Sevastopol in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Boardroom16 Jul 2029

Egor Kartashov is out at Druzhba

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Boardroom16 Jul 2029

A stranger takes charge at Druzhba

The coaching staff has emptied out entirely and there was nobody internal to promote, so the club has appointed a name almost none of its supporters will recognise. Clubs recover from this; none of them enjoy explaining it.

Boardroom16 Jul 2029

Interim Coach minds the shop at Druzhba

“I am not thinking past Saturday, and I would advise nobody else to.” The caretaker’s first rule is to pretend the job is small; Interim Coach recited it perfectly.

Market16 Jul 2029

Nikita Sidorov puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Druzhba, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Words exchanged at Druzhba

Eddi Tsanava 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.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Zaid Koblev has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Boardroom16 Jul 2029

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Druzhba

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets16 Jul 2029

Druzhba rebuffed over Christian Torrisi

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

One of our own: Timofey Leskov joins the Druzhba first team

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

In brief
