56 days out for Tobías Ostchega after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. América Mineiro will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Alê, 36, rolls back the years — 7.82
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Italo signs for Ypiranga while still at América Mineiro
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Italo has agreed terms with Ypiranga for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Jhonatan Lima has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around América Mineiro they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Gonzalo Mastriani in a row with a teammate

Maguinho was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

América Mineiro see off Operário Ferroviário
Three points for América Mineiro, 2‑0 the final word against Operário Ferroviário in a contest settled by the finer margins.

América Mineiro may not be able to give Artur what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Artur wants continental football; whether América Mineiro can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
Nathan 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.
In brief
- Squad Too much change too quickly at América Mineiro
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
- Squad Alê falls out with a teammate over standards
