Squad

The knee: Simon Widmer out for 19 days

19 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wil lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

45 days out for Altin Berisha after a fracture

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

Squad

Tempers go at Wil

Simone Santoro 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 Wil training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Liridon Mulaj 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

Talks stall between Wil and Riccardo Braschi

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Maxim Syschenko

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

The knee: Simon Widmer out for 26 days

26 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wil lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Tempers go at Wil

Rúben Dantas Fernandes 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

Liridon Mulaj 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.

Market

Still no ink between Wil and Tiago Vermeulen

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Wil, another week without a signature from Tiago Vermeulen.

Squad

Gabriele Ricci wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Wil will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

The dugout

Álvaro Cortés 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.
