A knee injury of the worst kind for Sheriddin Boboev
27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. PSM lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

No mercy from PSM
Madura United will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. PSM were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

PSM rebuffed over Željko Vitorović
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Rapid Wien have kept their man, and PSM go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
