Daniel Kozma breaks a bone — 110 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 110 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The scrutiny sharpens at Pardubice
Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Pardubice is running low.

Daniel Stanek damages knee ligaments — 14 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 14 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.

Daniel Rus, 21, steals the show — 7.83
Marked 7.83 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Aleš Mandous gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Daniel Smékal left out for the big one
A player who expected to start watched it instead. The manager will call it a decision for the team; Daniel Smékal will call it something else in private.
