Vincenzo Fiorillo breaks a bone — 93 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 93 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Renato Ravelli steps up from the Carrarese academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Renato Ravelli 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.
