Edwin Cerrillo damages knee ligaments — 31 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 31 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.

One of our own: Jack Turner joins the LA Galaxy first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jack Turner is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

In brief
