The Queretaro Sentinel

A fracture rules Carlo Adriano out for 20 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Queretaro will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

A falling-out at Queretaro
Diego Reyes and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Leonardo Cruz stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Leonardo Cruz and Queretaro agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Bless Ege falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The manager makes an example of Rolando Flores
“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.

When it matters, José Hernández plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Iker Benito linked with a move away
The name of Iker Benito keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Queretaro say nothing, which says plenty.

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

The manager makes Daniel Parra a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Queretaro. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
