Squad

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.

Match

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.

The dugout

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.

Squad

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.

Match

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.

Player ratings

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.

The dugout

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.

The dugout

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.

The dugout

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.

Squad

Aldo Solano damages knee ligaments — 25 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 25 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Fernando Arce Jr. out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Toluca will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A row about effort at Toluca

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Franco Romero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Words exchanged at Toluca

Diego Barbosa 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of David Shrem

“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.

Market

Marcel Ruiz linked with a move away

The name of Marcel Ruiz keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Toluca say nothing, which says plenty.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Jesús Ricardo Angulo

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Dorados in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

The dugout

Luan asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

A door opens for Diego Barbosa

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
