Donald Mëllugja damages knee ligaments — 135 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 135 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.

A fracture rules Endri Dema out for 67 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kastrioti Krujë will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Aris Kubazi: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Kastrioti Krujë have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Idriz Batha in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Kastrioti Krujë this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Edi Isteri 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.

Kastrioti Krujë keep their word to Kosta Vangjeli
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

93% of the income goes out in wages at Kastrioti Krujë
Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.
