Atomu Tanaka breaks a bone — 128 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 128 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Atomu Tanaka 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 KTP this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Claes Kronberg falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Atomu Tanaka breaks a bone — 135 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 135 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match19 Aug 2026

KTP out of the cup

HJK ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at KTP

Atomu Tanaka 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.

Daniel Krch falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Đorđe Glišović 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Joni Mäkelä

7.99, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. KTP had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match8 Aug 2026

HJK take the points off KTP

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nobody at KTP has picked up the phone to Christian Chibuzor

48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Atomu Tanaka signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Atomu Tanaka and KTP agree another 2 years.

Tempers go at KTP

Atomu Tanaka 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.

The crowd has taken to Maksym Zhuk

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Arttu Tulehmo

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at KTP has picked up the phone to Nathaniel Tahmbi

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Arttu Tulehmo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
