A fracture rules Santiago Roa out for 104 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Deportes Quindio will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Santiago Torres 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 Deportes Quindio this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Deportes Quindio training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrés Tello 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.

A bad afternoon for Deportes Quindio against Jaguares
0‑2 to Jaguares, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

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

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

Santiago Torres has had enough of the bench
“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and Deportes Quindio will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Wages eat 86% of everything Deportes Quindio earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
