Squad1 Mar 2027

The knee: Lovro Majkić out for 27 days

27 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Asteras lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad1 Mar 2027

66 days out for Junior Mendieta after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Asteras will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market1 Mar 2027

Kiko Olivas asks to leave Asteras

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market1 Mar 2027

Asteras turn down FC Lahti for Anhá Candé

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad1 Mar 2027

Kiko Olivas wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Asteras can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Words exchanged at Asteras

Mady Camara and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces25 Jan 2027

The mood at Asteras has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Junior Mendieta breaks a bone — 107 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 107 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market25 Jan 2027

Miki Muñoz 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 The request is on a desk at Asteras, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Benjamin Mbunga Kimpioka keeps the receipts

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

Match23 Jan 2027

The wait goes on for Asteras

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Medical ends the Tasos Tsokanis deal

Everything was agreed with Volos NPS and then the doctor spoke. Asteras have walked away from a signing on the advice of somebody who never saw him play, which is how it is supposed to work.

Market25 Jan 2027

Asteras say no — this time

The offer from Maritzburg United for Anhá Candé was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Franco Orozco 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 Asteras this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market25 Jan 2027

Business is business: Evgeniy Yablonskiy goes

Panathinaikos paid $510.0K and Asteras took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
