Squad

Manuel Valverde damages knee ligaments — 73 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 73 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.

Squad

54 days out for Jonathan Garcia after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Frontera Rivera will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Gaston Pellistri 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 Frontera Rivera this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The knee: Manuel Valverde out for 80 days

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

Squad

61 days out for Jonathan Garcia after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Frontera Rivera will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Rafael Coates 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 The request is on a desk at Frontera Rivera, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Gaston Pellistri stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Gaston Pellistri and Frontera Rivera agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Words exchanged at Frontera Rivera

Gaston Pellistri 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.

Squad

Words at Frontera Rivera training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Facundo Rodriguez 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.
