Ricardo Batista breaks a bone — 46 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 46 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

André Geraldes: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Casa Pia have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Only the photograph left for Rochinha
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Rochinha will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Casa Pia the goodbyes have quietly begun.

No thanks: Yerry Montero rejects the move
Casa Pia had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at America de Cali, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Match14 Aug 2027
After 6 games, Casa Pia finally taste it again
The first defeat in 6 matches. The manager will say it had to come; the dressing room will say it did not have to come against Braga; the supporters will say both, in that order, all week.

Bruno Neves steps up from the Casa Pia academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Bruno Neves has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
