A fracture rules Enzo Pereira out for 36 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bragantino will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Luan Cândido 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 Bragantino this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Bragantino training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Hurtado is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Lucas Barbosa gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Lucas Barbosa is on it.

Lucas Suárez gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Market14 Apr 2031
The Isidro Pitta talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Bragantino know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Léo Rosa has been promised minutes
A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Léo Rosa has written the date down.

The Bragantino academy earns its keep
45 graduates, from a department now rated 9 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

Henry Mosquera keeps his manager's vote
The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Henry Mosquera plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
In brief
