Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Enrico Celeghin

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Trapani lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market

Trapani get their man

The chase for Madou Diakité ended with $200.0K changing hands and Triestina out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Tempers go at Trapani

Simone Russini 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.

Match

Trapani come up short against Audace Cerignola

Audace Cerignola left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Flavio Ciuferri

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Flavio Ciuferri, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

Riccardo Forte runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Trapani training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Enrico Celeghin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

The Enis Ujkaj talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Trapani know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

A move Simone Russini would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Simone Russini is living that version at Trapani, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Trapani count the cost of losing Borna Knezović

48 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Tempers go at Trapani

Federico Vázquez 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.
