A fracture rules Leandro Trossard out for 53 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Besiktas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Necip Uysal has been here 18 seasons
341 appearances across 18 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Oh Hyeon-Gyu 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 Besiktas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Besiktas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fabio Miretti is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Besiktas sign Okay Unai, one for the future
Okay Unai is 15, and Besiktas have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

A long bet from Besiktas on Kenan Ozil
He is 15, and nobody at Besiktas signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

A long bet from Besiktas on Cenk Ucar
He is 16, and nobody at Besiktas signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Besiktas buy the years ahead of Halil Unal
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Boardroom The Besiktas board choose calm
- Loan watch The clock runs down on Wilfred Ndidi at Volos NPS
