Igor Rocha damages knee ligaments — 26 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 26 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.

The step up is real for Tuta

The terraces12 Oct 2026

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026
An away day at São Luiz next for Brasil de Pelotas
They sit in position 10 and they will be waiting. Away form is where a season shows its true character, and this side has a point to make about its own.
In brief
- Market The stand keeps filling up for Daniel Costa
- The dugout The manager comes out for Vinícius Mendes
