Marco Lukka damages knee ligaments — 145 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 145 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.

Kuressaare taken apart
0‑4 to Paide, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Eduard Golovljov signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Eduard Golovljov and Kuressaare agree another 3 years.

2 academy graduates step up at Kuressaare

Marek Klavan steps up from the Kuressaare academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marek Klavan 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.

Martin Jälle 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.
In brief
- Boardroom Nobody left the Kuressaare dressing room in a hurry
- The dugout Rauno Mets faces the questions
- The dugout Karl-Romet Nõmm is still being punished for one mistake
