James Rodrigues breaks a bone — 78 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 78 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Denis Tikhonov runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Ryazan close the window on a squad of their own making
13 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Nart tell Ryazan: Yaroslav Dol is not for sale

Mikhail Alyoshin steps up from the Ryazan academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mikhail Alyoshin 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.

The dugout14 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Maxim Mishutin
“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.

Honours even between Ryazan and Dinamo Bryansk
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Vladimir Zuev on the point
“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Vladimir Zuev after the 1‑1 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.
