The CFR Cluj Sentinel
Squad9 Sep 2041
A fracture rules Nicolò Vaccarezza out for 58 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason CFR Cluj will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Şerban Tomache
29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. CFR Cluj lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Daniel Deac keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” CFR Cluj may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Lucio Urquía signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lucio Urquía commits to CFR Cluj for another 2 years.

A defender's afternoon for Pablo Ferreira
Defensive actions: 17. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

CFR Cluj and Nicolò Vaccarezza are talking past each other
“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Viktor Damjanić stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.75 on the card, and the CFR Cluj support went home talking about one name.

Ianis Mihaila runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Point won or two lost for CFR Cluj?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Universitatea Craiova? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.
In brief
- Player ratings Nothing got past Jesper Gregersen
- Market CFR Cluj shop where it costs nothing
- Market Florin Ratiu leaves for nothing
