Marked for Marcos Herrera

Squad

A fracture rules Marcos Herrera out for 22 days

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

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on José Copete

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Eldense have done the hard part with Valencia, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Player ratings

Martín Campos runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Words exchanged at Eldense

Ulises Rivas 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.

Transfer targets

Eldense rebuffed over Luca Langoni

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Atlético Madrid have kept their man, and Eldense go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Ourense CF join the queue for Pablo Valencia

Add another name to the list: Ourense CF have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Pablo Valencia. The answer from Eldense has not changed — yet.

Match

A bad afternoon for Eldense against Antequera

0‑1 to Antequera, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

David Ruiz makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Renzo Zambrano

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

29 days out for Marcos Herrera after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Eldense will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Tempers go at Eldense

Ulises Rivas 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

Renzo Zambrano out for 35 days

The medical room confirms 35 days on the sidelines for Renzo Zambrano, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Match

Ulises Rivas the difference as Eldense beat Teruel

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ulises Rivas. 2‑1 against Teruel, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Eldense come up short against Gimnàstic

Gimnàstic left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Ulises Rivas in the eights

A performance of 8.04 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Eduardo García kept it short after the 2‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Squad

Words at Eldense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dario Đumić 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.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Manu Molina

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
