Squad22 Feb 2027

126 days out for Eduardo Henrique after a fracture

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

Grêmio turn down IA for Alexsandro

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad22 Feb 2027

Words exchanged at Grêmio

Weverton 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.

IA join the queue for Harlley

Add another name to the list: IA have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Harlley. The answer from Grêmio has not changed — yet.

Words at Grêmio training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Caio Paulista 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.

The dugout22 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Caio Paulista

“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.

Mathías Villasanti gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mathías Villasanti is on it.

The Carlos Vinícius story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Carlos Vinícius signs something — a contract at Grêmio or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Riquelme wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Grêmio will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market25 Jan 2027

Masr El Makasa come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Grêmio did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Grêmio

Martin Braithwaite was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Grêmio training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Francis Amuzu 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.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Caio Paulista

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Caio Paulista, and the manager let it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Mathías Villasanti has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Grêmio 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.
