| Stallions Fall 3-0, Menza Joins Squad |
Buraak Stallions endured their first defeat of the season with a 3-0 loss to S.E. Palmeiras. The match was further marred by the injury of key midfielder Per-Albin Ekholm, who was forced off the pitch in the 25th minute.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Manager Tahir Rawn offered an update on Ekholm's condition:
"It doesn't look as bad as we thought at first. But it will definitely take some time. Our medical team is assessing the situation."
Ekholm is expected to be out for several weeks as he recovers.
In a swift response, the Stallions confirmed the signing of 32-year-old midfielder Paul Menza from Stevenage Jaguars for 847,700 econ. Menza has already joined the squad and is in training, with plans to be available for selection in the next match.
Manager Tahir commented on the signing:
"We're pleased to finalize Paul Menza's signing. He brings maturity and composure to our midfield, and we believe he can make an immediate impact."
Paul Menza also spoke to club media following the announcement:
"I'm excited to join Buraak Stallions and can't wait to get started. I know the expectations are high, and I'm here to give everything for the badge. I've still got a lot to offer, and I'm ready to prove that on the pitch."
The signing has drawn mixed reactions from analysts, with some questioning whether Menza is past his prime. However, many supporters believe that the timing of the move, especially in light of Ekholm's injury, makes it a calculated and cost-effective decision that could keep the Stallions on steady ground during a crucial stretch of the season.
The Stallions will look to regroup and come back stronger in their next fixture as they adapt to these recent changes.
