A fracture rules Christian Kobel out for 29 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Aarau will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Basel come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Aarau did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Aarau may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

A falling-out at Aarau
Irvin Cardona 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
4 academy graduates step up at Aarau
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.

One of their own: Adrien Llukes
He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Mario Comert steps up from the Aarau academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mario Comert has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Silvan Mvogo joins the Aarau first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Silvan Mvogo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Simon Rodriguez steps up from the Aarau academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Simon Rodriguez has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
