A fracture rules Marco Granados out for 39 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Morelia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Zahid Muñoz puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Morelia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Tarık Çetin is a medical away from Morelia
The deal with Fenerbahce is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

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.

Late improvement for Brian Figueroa
At 28 the improving is meant to be over, and it is not: 3 points better than a year ago. It happens to the ones who take the boring parts seriously.

Morelia ask about Tom Barlow
A loan enquiry to FC Cincinnati: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

No hiding place for Marco Granados
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Marco Granados, and the manager let it.
In brief
