Francisco Lopez damages knee ligaments — 29 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 29 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.

A fracture rules Jordan Leborgne out for 135 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason La Equidad will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Jesus Falcao says La Equidad 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.

Only the photograph left for Camilo Muriel
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Camilo Muriel will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around La Equidad the goodbyes have quietly begun.

The wait goes on for La Equidad
4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Graduation day at La Equidad
8 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

A falling-out at La Equidad
Jesus Falcao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Víctor Cabezas 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.

Leonardo Duque steps up from the La Equidad academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Leonardo Duque has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
