Squad

A fracture rules Andres Martinez out for 31 days

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

Market

Junior Murillo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Estudiantes de Caracas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Juan Herrera 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 Estudiantes de Caracas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Juan Herrera breaks a bone — 36 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 36 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Juan Herrera in trouble away from the ground

Every paper's favourite story and every manager's least. What happened is being dealt with internally, which is the phrase clubs use when they would rather nobody asked again.

Market

Junior Murillo asks to leave Estudiantes de Caracas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Juan Herrera breaks a bone — 43 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 43 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David Casseres 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.

Squad

Junior Murillo is not doing himself any favours

A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.

Player ratings

Alejandro Savarino could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.48

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.48, 1 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

Squad

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

Alejandro Gonzalez was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Portuguesa take the points off Estudiantes de Caracas

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Miguel Herrera runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Oscar Ramirez 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Alejandro Savarino

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alejandro Savarino, and the manager let it.
