A fracture rules Yehor Kartushov out for 103 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Chernihiv will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Dmytro Fatieiev is still being punished for one mistake
Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Chernihiv counting the cost
The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Chernihiv now.
