Squad

The knee: James Gomez out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Valledupar lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market

Brian Medina 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 The request is on a desk at Valledupar, and it is not being withdrawn.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Valledupar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for James Gomez

29 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Valledupar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Words exchanged at Valledupar

Javier Duque 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.

Market

The Luis Castillo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Valledupar know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
