A fracture rules Jack Arnoll out for 30 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Salford City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Deadline passes with 8 signed and 6 gone
That is the business done at Salford City until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Ben Cisse 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 Salford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Brandon Cooper goes back to face Swindon Town
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Brandon Cooper’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Salford City needing him to play as if none of it matters.
