16 days out for Mario Contreras after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Porto Velho will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

One of our own: Dunga joins the Porto Velho first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Dunga is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Porto Velho promote Roberto Pacheco from within

Diego Pereira brings the grey hairs Porto Velho lacked
At 38, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

No hiding place for Rodrygo Viana
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Rodrygo Viana, and the manager let it.
In brief

- Market Porto Velho put Marcelo Figueiredo up for sale
- Looking ahead An away day at Pouso Alegre next for Porto Velho
