Gabriele Milone breaks a bone — 24 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The step up is real for Elijah Scott
At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

A falling-out at Salernitana
Marco Capuano and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Simone Pieraccini 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.

Elijah Scott is still paying for one afternoon at Salernitana
Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Marco Capuano knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Salernitana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Armando Anastasio faces his old club
Cosenza next, and one man in the Salernitana dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

The Luca Villa question follows Salernitana around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Luca Villa’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
