Debinson Mateus breaks a bone — 78 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 78 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Eyes on Tiziano Godoy again
The phone has started ringing about Tiziano Godoy again, and this time the name on the line is Wuhan Three Towns. Tigres are listening politely and promising nothing.
