Marked for Savely Lunev

Squad16 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Sindre Mauritz-Hansen out for 68 days

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

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Legion

Keegan Hughes and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Nura Dan Megi wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Legion can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

The manager makes an example of Islam Magomedov

“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.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Legion count the cost of losing Savely Lunev

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Keegan Hughes gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Keegan Hughes is on it.

Market16 Nov 2026

Legion put Nura Dan Megi up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Nura Dan Megi may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Edoardo Cavaliere story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Edoardo Cavaliere signs something — a contract at Legion or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Gadji Kurbanov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Legion, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad14 Sep 2026

3 goals for Sindre Mauritz-Hansen

The match ball belongs to Sindre Mauritz-Hansen, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Vladimir Malyshev stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match12 Sep 2026

Legion make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Legion have 4 straight wins of it.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 20 signed and 0 gone

That is the business done at Legion until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Legion

Haruna Abubakar 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

One of those days for Sindre Mauritz-Hansen

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.40, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match12 Sep 2026

Legion get the job done against Nart

A 3‑1 win over Nart, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Transfer targets14 Sep 2026

Rodina tell Legion: Svyatoslav Kozhedub is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The terraces14 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Abusupjan Magomedov

At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

In brief
