Squad

Johan Osorio damages knee ligaments — 152 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 152 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

Words exchanged at Estudiantes de Caracas

Aquiles Ocanto and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A row about effort at Estudiantes de Caracas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Néstor Cova was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Estudiantes de Caracas

A 0‑3 beating by Carabobo was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Transfer targets

Jairo Pérez due for a Estudiantes de Caracas medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Tempers go at Estudiantes de Caracas

Aquiles Ocanto 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

Words at Estudiantes de Caracas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Néstor Cova 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.

Boardroom

Adriangel Torrealba will join Estudiantes de Caracas for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Adriangel Torrealba has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Estudiantes de Caracas have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Market

One of our own: Roberto Gonzalez joins the Estudiantes de Caracas first team

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

Market

Oscar Cordova steps up from the Estudiantes de Caracas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Oscar Cordova 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.

Market

Rafael Moreno steps up from the Estudiantes de Caracas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rafael Moreno 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.

Market

One of our own: Gabriel Osorio joins the Estudiantes de Caracas first team

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