Rafael Pascoal damages knee ligaments — 118 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 118 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.

44 days out for Rafael Conceição after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Ferroviário will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Ferroviário rebuffed over Pedro Raul
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Corinthians have kept their man, and Ferroviário go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Ferroviário ask about Jardel
A loan enquiry to Emirates Club: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
Market28 Dec 2026
The Iago talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Ferroviário know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
