The knee: Jahongir Isomiddinov out for 15 days
15 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Bunyodkor lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The wait goes on for Bunyodkor
7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Abdumavlon Abdujalilov says Bunyodkor went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Rustam Shomurodov steps up from the Bunyodkor academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rustam Shomurodov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
