Squad

Svyatoslav Kozhedub damages knee ligaments — 145 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 145 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.

Market

Luke Daley puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rodina, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Artyom Gorelov is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Rodina is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Tempers go at Rodina

Astemir Gordyushenko 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.

Boardroom

$575.0K from the owner keeps Rodina afloat

The gap in the accounts was filled from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be grateful and to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings arrive together.

Squad

A row about effort at Rodina

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Georgy Yudintsev was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Rodina count the cost of losing Dmitriy Pavlov

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

Market

12 months and counting on Artem Arutyunov

Still no offer on the table, and Artem Arutyunov’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

The dugout

Daniil Zhitnikov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Daniil Zhitnikov is on it.

Market

Artyom Gorelov has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Rodina they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Rodina

Astemir Gordyushenko 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.

Boardroom

$856.3K of the owner's money at Rodina

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Squad

Words at Rodina training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Georgy Yudintsev 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.

Squad

Dmitriy Pavlov out for 47 days

The medical room confirms 47 days on the sidelines for Dmitriy Pavlov, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

Stanislav Lapinskiy 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.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Alan Agaev

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Rodina told Alan Agaev something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Daniil Zhitnikov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Daniil Zhitnikov is on it.

Market

The Georgy Yudintsev talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Rodina know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
