Squad15 Jan 2029

David Guerrero damages knee ligaments — 74 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 74 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.

Squad15 Jan 2029

156 days out for Francisco Meza after a fracture

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

Market15 Jan 2029

Daniel Mantilla’s move to Once Caldas falls through

The deal that would have taken Daniel Mantilla to Once Caldas has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Llaneros with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market15 Jan 2029

Johan Torres is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Llaneros is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad15 Jan 2029

A falling-out at Llaneros

Francisco Meza and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad15 Jan 2029

Words at Llaneros training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Néider Ospina 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.

Market15 Jan 2029

Jhon Moreno attracts admirers

The name of Jhon Moreno has come up in conversations Llaneros were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

The dugout15 Jan 2029

Víctor Vidal gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market15 Jan 2029

Jimmy Medranda placed on the list

Llaneros have made Jimmy Medranda available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Squad18 Dec 2028

The knee: David Guerrero out for 105 days

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

Market18 Dec 2028

Jimmy Medranda agrees terms with Cortulua

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Llaneros people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad18 Dec 2028

The season belongs to Néider Ospina

An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Llaneros have had the benefit of it.

Market18 Dec 2028

Léider Riascos attracts admirers

The name of Léider Riascos has come up in conversations Llaneros were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market18 Dec 2028

Johan Torres has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Llaneros they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad18 Dec 2028

A falling-out at Llaneros

Francisco Meza and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets18 Dec 2028

Door shut on Andrés Monsalve

Llaneros asked and Deportes Quindio said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets18 Dec 2028

Llaneros try to borrow Juan Sebastián Toncel

Union Magdalena have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Carlos Angulo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Vintage Yorleys Mena — 8.36

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.36, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market12 Jun 2028

Johan Torres 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.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

The paperwork begins on Tobías Pantoja

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Llaneros have done the hard part with Central Norte, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at Llaneros

Yorleys Mena 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.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Luis Miranda beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Néider Ospina falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Defences have started doubling up on Yorleys Mena

13 goals and a season average of 7.21 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match10 Jun 2028

Llaneros get the job done against Depor

A 2‑0 win over Depor, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Market12 Jun 2028

Pakhtakor join the queue for Jhon Moreno

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

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

Luis Miranda was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Kelvin Osorio says Llaneros went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Words exchanged at Llaneros

David Guerrero 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.

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

The afternoon belonged to Carlos Barreiro

A mark of 7.90, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match25 Mar 2028

Carlos Barreiro rescues a point for Llaneros

It needed Carlos Barreiro to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Depor, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Luis Muriel was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Llaneros dressing room was either.

The dugout27 Mar 2028

Víctor Vidal gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Looking ahead27 Mar 2028

A reunion for Yorleys Mena

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Alianza Petrolera in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.
