Luis Hasa damages knee ligaments — 20 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 20 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.

Cup progress for Bari
A 4‑1 win over Lecco, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Luis Hasa 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 The request is on a desk at Bari, and it is not being withdrawn.

A debut Paul Schuster will not forget — 7.71
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.71 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Iovan Roganovich breaks a bone — 58 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 58 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A one-man rearguard from Ramiro Méndez
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Edoardo Baldi, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.68
A mark of 7.68 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Up for the corner, and Joe Gilbertson delivers — 7.92
Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Joe Gilbertson scored, was marked 7.92, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Altin Zeqiri is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Bari is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
