Squad

Juanjo Nieto damages knee ligaments — 113 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 113 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 Rubén Pulido out for 41 days

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

Match

Granada win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 90th minute. Elche will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Squad

Luca Zidane keeps Granada in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Alejandro Francés wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Granada hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Koke 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 Granada this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Granada find a way past Elche

Elche made Granada work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Loan watch

Iván Rojas wants to come home

“I did not go to Elche to sit and watch. I want to come back to Granada and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Market

The Oscar Naasei question follows Granada around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Oscar Naasei’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Tempers go at Elche

Álex Padilla 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

Víctor Chust has improved at 28, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

Words at Elche training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Martim Neto 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.

In brief
