Squad

A fracture rules Jefté Betancor out for 74 days

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

Squad

Manu Fuster in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Las Palmas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The step up is real for Iván Ortega

At 17 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Jur Schipper

Las Palmas asked and ADO Den Haag said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

A row about effort at Las Palmas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jesé was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets

Las Palmas try to borrow Simon Simoni

Luzern have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market

Marvin Park linked with a move away

The name of Marvin Park keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Las Palmas say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes Jefté Betancor a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Las Palmas. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

The dugout

Nicholas Opoku knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Las Palmas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

In brief
