Squad

Timothy Tillman damages knee ligaments — 29 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 29 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

Matías Jorquera asks to leave Los Angeles Football Club

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market

Ahmed Ali Amin has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Los Angeles Football Club they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market

Los Angeles Football Club say no — this time

The offer from New York Red Bulls for Connor Morris was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom

Ahmed Ali Amin signs for New York Red Bulls while still at Los Angeles Football Club

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Ahmed Ali Amin has agreed terms with New York Red Bulls for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Yevhen Cheberko 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.

The terraces

Anger at Los Angeles Football Club spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad

A fracture rules Eddie Segura out for 51 days

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Miles Yedlin

68 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Los Angeles Football Club lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Emmanuel Dung 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 Los Angeles Football Club can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Nkosi Tafari

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nkosi Tafari will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Los Angeles Football Club the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Boardroom

Nkosi Tafari has agreed to leave Los Angeles Football Club 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Los Angeles Football Club

Yevhen Cheberko 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.

Squad

Artem Smolyakov 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Los Angeles Football Club against Seattle Sounders

0‑2 to Seattle Sounders, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
