Squad

O'tkir Yusupov damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

5 matches without a win for Navbahor

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Navbahor are no longer polite ones.

Squad

O'tkir Yusupov 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 Navbahor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Charles Traoré 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ruslanbek Jiyanov

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Navbahor

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Player ratings

Charles Traoré takes the honours

Marked 6.93 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Navbahor had the best player on the pitch.

Match

Navbahor draw a blank against Pakhtakor

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Pakhtakor defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market

The Husain Norchayev talk will not go away

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

Market

Navbahor say no — this time

The offer from Metallurg for Joyce Katulondi 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.

Squad

O'tkir Yusupov 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 Navbahor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Andijon watching Muhammadali G'iyosov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Navbahor have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Anri Chichinadze 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.

Squad

This league is too small for Jamshid Boltaboev

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Navbahor will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Market

The clock runs on Ruslanbek Jiyanov's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Player ratings

Ruslanbek Jiyanov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Navbahor and Benjamin Teidi are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

Words at Navbahor training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mustafo Abdumannopov 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.

In brief
