A fracture rules Daniil Sukhoruchko out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Metalist will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Beknaz Almazbekov 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 Metalist this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Illia Krupskyi 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.

No hiding place for Andrii Khoma

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andrii Khoma, and the manager let it.

Giulio Maggiore brings the grey hairs Metalist lacked

At 40, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Gor Lulukyan damages knee ligaments — 45 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 45 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Metalist count the cost of losing Carlos Paraco

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Ramik Hadzhyiev 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 Metalist this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad20 Jul 2037

Metalist lose Yevhen Pavliuk

47 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market20 Jul 2037

Chornomorets expected to open talks for Ihor Ustynov

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Metalist will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

The Illia Krupskyi story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Illia Krupskyi signs something — a contract at Metalist or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
