Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Javier Mejia

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

Squad

A fracture rules Edwin Muriel out for 19 days

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

Squad

Tempers go at Cortulua

Nicolas Montero 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.

Squad

Richard Moreno 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.

Market

The Luis Restrepo conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Portuguesa will make the call about Luis Restrepo this week. Cortulua have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market

The market said no: Jesus Santos stays put

Cortulua opened the door and nobody walked through it. So Jesus Santos stays — listed, trained, and available — while both sides mark the days to January on the same calendar.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Javier Mejia

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

Squad

Edwin Muriel breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Cortulua say no — this time

The offer from Alianza Petrolera for Julian Mina was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad

Nicolas Montero 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Cortulua training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Richard Moreno 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.

The terraces

Supporters make their feelings known about Hector Valencia

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. Cortulua would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.

Squad

Javier Mejia damages knee ligaments — 65 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 65 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 Edwin Muriel out for 35 days

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

Market

Cortulua turn down Atletico Venezuela for Luis Restrepo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Cortulua

Nicolas Montero 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.

Market

Jose Gonzalez told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jose Gonzalez has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Cortulua.

Match

8 matches without a win for Cortulua

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Cortulua are no longer polite ones.

Market

Hector Valencia wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Hector Valencia 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 Cortulua this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Cortulua come up short against Once Caldas

Once Caldas left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Javier Mejia 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.

Squad

Edwin Muriel stays put

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