  20. Left out as Elías Báez was preferred

    Serious

    Elías Báez was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.

    Outlook
    Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.

    Cause
    Still inside the settling-in window after his recent move.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  23. José Gómez, a compatriot, joined the squad

    Moderate
    Cause
    Shared nationality and language helped this take root. The language gap is making integration harder.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.
  24. Struggling to settle into the squad

    Serious

  28. Built a stronger partnership with José Gómez

    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. A senior figure was at the centre of how it played out.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  29. Manager kept a promise
