The Luzern Courier
Squad24 Jul 2028
Anthony Racioppi stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Junior Onana frozen out at Luzern
This is not rotation. Junior Onana has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Luzern is pretending otherwise.

Gabriele Finocchiaro says Luzern went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Luzern turn down Campobasso for Ricardo Rieder
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

The paperwork begins on Adamo Nagalo
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Luzern have done the hard part with PSV, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at Luzern
Junior Onana and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom24 Jul 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Luzern
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Match22 Jul 2028
Still nobody has beaten Luzern
The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Derby County tell Luzern: Mike Trésor 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.
