Testinha damages knee ligaments — 53 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 53 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

67 days out for Renan Oliveira after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Parana will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Joel Abraham at Parana

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Joel Abraham is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Vinícius Paulista signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vinícius Paulista and Parana agree another 3 years.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

America Mineiro tell Parana: Daniel da Silva is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Parana baulk at the price for Pablo

Vasco da Gama wanted more than $59.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Lucas Fernandes

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Vinícius Paulista knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Vinícius Paulista trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market11 Jan 2027

Parana and Joel Abraham 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Dec 2026

Renan Oliveira breaks a bone — 96 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 96 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Lucas Fernandes 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Parana rebuffed over João Scatolin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Juventude have kept their man, and Parana go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

One of our own: Douglas Neves joins the Parana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Douglas Neves is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market14 Dec 2026

One of our own: Rodrygo Silva joins the Parana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Rodrygo Silva is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Parana count the cost of losing Bebeto

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

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Lynneeker 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.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Gilberto is a square peg at Parana

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

João Ferreira asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
