From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

63 days out for Jesper Fiksdal after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Skeid will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout

Almas Samrat keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Skeid may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Jakke Van Britsom rejects the move

Skeid had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Club Brugge, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Words exchanged at Skeid

Robbin Weijenberg and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Skeid

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A row about effort at Skeid

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alexander Warneryd was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Estoril Praia tell Skeid: Kelian Baruti Liamba is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Skeid promote Marcus Meling from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Marcus Meling has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Birger Singh joins the Skeid first team

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

In brief
