A fracture rules Hugo González out for 95 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Toluca will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The knee: Ernesto Reyes out for 150 days
150 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Toluca lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Alessandro Tagle agrees terms with Chiapas
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Toluca people have started saying his name in the past tense.

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Toluca are no longer polite ones.

Tempers go at Toluca
Federico Pereira 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.
Player ratings26 Jul 2027
Nobody could get near Santiago Simón
Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Graduation day at Toluca
6 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
