From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Raúl Baena breaks a bone — 112 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 112 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Lucas Ribeiro

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Diego Collado the difference as Cultural Leonesa beat Huesca

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Diego Collado. 1‑0 against Huesca, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Homam Ahmed falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Endika gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings

Diego Collado was the difference for Cultural Leonesa

Marked 7.67. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

In brief
