41 days out for Muslim Nabiev after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Tver will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Nikita Lyutikov keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Tver may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Kirill Dudkin 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 Tver this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The step up is real for Nikita Lyutikov
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

One of our own: Zakhar Mitin joins the Tver first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Zakhar Mitin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Islam Zangiev 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.

When it matters, Maksim Ogarev plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Grigory Kosenko 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.

The Anton Khomyakov talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Tver know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
In brief
- Market Talks stall between Tver and Andrey Shevtsov
- The dugout Marat Bairamov knocks on the manager’s door
- Looking ahead Home comforts ahead for Tver
