Squad

Viktor Sestak damages knee ligaments — 18 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 18 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Miroslav Gyomber out for 47 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason MFK Michalovce will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Hugo Ahl hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what MFK Michalovce can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ben Cottrell

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at MFK Michalovce

Ben Cottrell was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Danylo Ignatenko falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Viktor Sestak damages knee ligaments — 55 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 55 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.

Player ratings

Ben Cottrell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to MFK Michalovce's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at MFK Michalovce has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

MFK Michalovce cannot find the net

4 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad

Tempers go at MFK Michalovce

Zois Karargyris was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at MFK Michalovce training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Danylo Ignatenko 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.

Market

Orestis Kalemi asks to leave MFK Michalovce

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Samuel 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 MFK Michalovce this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Thamer Al-Zahrani gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Thamer Al-Zahrani has just signed for MFK Michalovce, and for once the answer mattered.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at MFK Michalovce

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Viktor Sestak joins the MFK Michalovce first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Viktor Sestak is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Patrik Bozenik steps up from the MFK Michalovce academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrik Bozenik 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.
