The words a physio says slowly. 42 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.

A fracture rules Christopher Grant out for 43 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Huddersfield Town will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Datro Fofana scores twice — 8.57
Two goals and a mark of 8.57 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Jack Bailey gets the move he always wanted
Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Jack Bailey has just signed for Huddersfield Town, and for once the answer mattered.

Ruben Roosken 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 Huddersfield Town this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
