A knee injury of the worst kind for Gabriel Uribe
40 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.

A fracture rules Wilmar Rios out for 153 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Valledupar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The paperwork begins on José García
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Valledupar have done the hard part with Atletico Bucaramanga, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A muscle injury and 14 days out for Javier Castillo
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Valledupar will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Valledupar try to borrow Andrés Tovar
Envigado 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.

Valledupar put Santiago Gomez up for sale
The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Santiago Gomez may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Freddy Martinez asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Wilmar Rios is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Valledupar has been clear about where Wilmar Rios stands, which is more than many ever get.

The manager makes an example of Wilmar Rios
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
