A knee injury of the worst kind for Hernán Lópes
91 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Torreense lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

112 days out for Josh Neufville after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Torreense will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Josh Neufville asks to leave Torreense

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Torreense have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

A falling-out at Torreense
Patrizio Masini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
In brief
- Squad A row about effort at Torreense
- Match A bad afternoon for Torreense against Pacos de Ferreira
