Squad

Mateus Santana breaks a bone — 54 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 54 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

The wait goes on for Parana

6 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.

Match

The goals have deserted Parana

6 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Parana can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Danielzinho 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 Parana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Parana promote Felipe Moreira from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Felipe Moreira has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

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

Rafael Peixoto steps up from the Parana academy

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

Parana promote Victor Fonseca from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Victor Fonseca has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
