45 days out for Hasan Kuruçay after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Holstein Kiel will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Adrián Kaprálik keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Holstein Kiel may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Only the photograph left for Franz Roggow
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Franz Roggow will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Holstein Kiel the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Sander Tangvik has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Holstein Kiel can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Franz Roggow has agreed to leave Holstein Kiel for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

A falling-out at Holstein Kiel
Ridle Baku and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Holstein Kiel
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.
