Squad

Junior Machis damages knee ligaments — 121 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 121 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

A fracture rules Cristian Murillo out for 92 days

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

Squad

Andres Moreno 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 Llaneros this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Cristian Murillo breaks a bone — 132 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 132 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Miguel Savarino asks to leave Llaneros

“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

Words at Llaneros training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Darwin 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

Darwin Soteldo keeps Llaneros in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Llaneros bow out of the cup

Caracas go through and Llaneros go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market

Vorskla join the queue for Jose Arango

Add another name to the list: Vorskla have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Jose Arango. The answer from Llaneros has not changed — yet.

Market

Miguel Savarino 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 The request is on a desk at Llaneros, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Salomon Casseres

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

4 matches without a win for Llaneros

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Llaneros are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Llaneros

Juan Machis 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.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Jose Savarino at his very best

Marked 8.02. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Llaneros.

Squad

Miguel Rondon stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Miguel Rondon and Llaneros agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
