The knee: Kiki Silva out for 93 days
93 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. AVS lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

AVS may not be able to give Raul Steffens what he wants
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Raul Steffens wants continental football; whether AVS can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Words exchanged at AVS
Diego Duarte 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.

AVS rebuffed over Beni Souza
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Estrela da Amadora have kept their man, and AVS go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Successful dribbles: 19. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

David Araujo stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” David Araujo and AVS agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

AVS and Casa Pia take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
In brief
- The dugout The view from the dugout
- Looking ahead A reunion for Pedro Trigueira
- Market Still no ink between AVS and Miguel Carvalho
