92 days out for Javier Correa after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Colo-Colo will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Jeyson Rojas is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Colo-Colo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Words exchanged at Colo-Colo
Claudio Aquino and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Real improvement from Leandro Hernández at Colo-Colo
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Leandro Hernández is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Words at Colo-Colo training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tomás Alarcón 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.

Claudio Aquino has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Colo-Colo will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

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

Still no ink between Colo-Colo and Facundo Melivilo
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Colo-Colo, another week without a signature from Facundo Melivilo.

The manager makes Tomás Alarcón a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Colo-Colo. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
In brief
- Market Colo-Colo pick up Rodrigo Delvalle for nothing
- The dugout Cristián Zavala keeps his manager's vote
