Squad

A fracture rules Leandro Chichizola out for 94 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Spezia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Torino come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Spezia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Gioele Conte agrees terms with Forli

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Spezia people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Boardroom

2 academy graduates step up at Spezia

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad

A row about effort at Spezia

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Petko Hristov was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Spezia rebuffed over Charles De Ketelaere

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

Market

Romano Caputo steps up from the Spezia academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Romano Caputo 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.

Market

Spezia promote Riccardo Borghi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Riccardo Borghi 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.

Boardroom

Spezia say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

In brief
