A knee injury of the worst kind for Carlos Savarino
17 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Estudiantes de Caracas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The cup run ends for Estudiantes de Caracas
1‑2 against Deportivo Lara, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

A fracture rules Jose Ferraresi out for 36 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Estudiantes de Caracas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

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.
