Aldo Solano damages knee ligaments — 18 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Toluca strike at the death to beat Dorados
There were 89 minutes on the clock and Dorados had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Toluca did not stop to explain themselves.

Franco Rossi: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Toluca have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Franco Romero in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Toluca this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Federico Viñas the difference as Toluca beat Dorados
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Federico Viñas. 1‑0 against Dorados, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Pável Pérez takes the honours
Marked 7.49 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Toluca had the best player on the pitch.

A satisfied Kevin Lozano
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Kevin Lozano could afford to be generous.

Érick Gutiérrez dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Víctor Guzmán knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Víctor Guzmán trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
