Sergey Serchenkov breaks a bone — 22 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 22 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Radomir Kozlov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Uralets-TS can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Yuriy Bolshakov comes home

The shirt still fits. Yuriy Bolshakov is back at Uralets-TS, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Market

As if he never left: Luka Yarygin returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Luka Yarygin is a Uralets-TS player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market

Lev Gorbachev is a Uralets-TS player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Squad
